Consistent calories is better than giant inconsistent meals

your metabolism is always running

I always thought the idea of the anabolic window was referring to the time shortly after your workout as the *supposed* optimal time to get calories in though?

Which isn't completely bro science either, muscle protein synthesis is elevated for some hours after your session.

5x5 snatches, 90 second rests. My shoulders are dead.

Real crossfit hours

My back feels good m8

This sounds life changing

Oleksiy is ridiculously strong

How was the lifting today, men?

Felt somewhat nauseous during, which was odd. Drank a bunch more water, didn't help. Powered through it and thankfully didn't puke.

I got nauseous learning how to backup today.

Lifting went as usual though, happy with my program so far

Alright day, bench and squat. I prefer my deadlifts. Dropped my reps today but increased weight.

Spent the whole day emptying out the basement and assembling the new rack today. Will break it in tomorrow with some benching

Today is Sunday, which is rest day.

Had a pretty solid rotation of Roman chair sits 4 x 20, and going to Home Depot 1 x 1

Had a puppy at the gym today. Great for the spirits.

I just got back into lifting and sparring with a friend from work last week. I was so sore afterwords I could hardly move lmao

What do you guys recommend for developing lower-outer pecs?

Somehow I think genetics are involved here - some guys muscles don’t extend to that part of the chest.

I do dips and decline bench press. Sometimes set cables higher to target the low part of the chest.

Chest aesthetics are super genetic. Just stick to bench and dumbbell flies tbh

You can try out decline press, but in most cases you get less of a chest workout and much more of a triceps workout

I would agree with you. Those exercises work for me but may not work for others.

The cables are always a good way to isolate parts of the chest. I read once that you want to attack it from multiple angles.

wide grip, arched bench press should hit that perfectly

or atleast it does for me

Upping the volume and doing incline and regular flat bench made by bench press skyrocket and my chest to really start to bulk up

I've never tried incline or decline bench, but the bench press has always been one of my weakest lifts. Might have to mix it up.

DB flys definitely helped my chest out, tho, in terms of size.

One of our boys has been programming me in the lead up to my next powerlifting meet. Can’t argue with the results, my conditioning is way up

Looking into buying a kettlebell. Are there any kettlebell characteristics besides weight that are relevant when choosing among the options?

@peytonT is it who I think it is?

@Nick-NJ I had 5x11 squats today w/330 so I think you know

😑 😑 😑 😑

@here if any of you guys experience knee pain when squatting, try substituting regular squats with Bulgarian split squats.
