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
Somehow I think genetics are involved here - some guys muscles donβt 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. Canβt 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?

@here if any of you guys experience knee pain when squatting, try substituting regular squats with Bulgarian split squats.
I've been doing it for the past 5 weeks and I've seen noticeably more leg growth than from when I was just squatting
Funny you say that. I have a little pain on the inside of my kneecap from squatting today. Never had it before. Thanks man
