All tips/ideas to improve my results are appreciated.

Do you work your core? Cause doing that helped me a lot.

Yeah I do.

Chest workout is like the only thing that hasn't been showing any improvement lately.

Do you happen to have broad shoulders?

I remember sitting in the sauna facing towards the door. And well the door has this huge window on it and outside of it is the bathroom with all the showers and toilets etc. So i was just sitting there and then this old black guy who must have been atleast like 7'2 or sumtin comes from the shower I could see him and I guess he couldn't really see me in the sauna. He stands near in front of the door and starts to wipe his %++ in a motion with his towel with his %++ towards my direction...

x1000.

We got some old dude who straight blow drys his nut sack with one leg up on the counter of the sink like its all cool and the gang.

lol, just read this on the previous page also. These old dudes are habitual line steppers.

For anyone who is even semi-serious into lifting watch this. http://videos.bodybuildin...os-sarcev-chest-training

Soak in what Milos says about mind-muscle connection and apply it to everything.

I wouldn't say so but what difference does it make?

 

[jonathanchingy]

What about legs?
Getting a higher vertical jump?

Why not have legs split up too? Deadlifts with pull and squats/lunges with push. Just a thought

...but deadlifts are a quad exercise as well.

I dont know of a good way to make a program with legs on both a push day and a pull day.

So giving legs their own day would be the ideal scenario in this case?

I know they're technically a quad exercise too but for me at least, I barely use my quads when deadlifting. I can deadlift heavy on say a monday... and on tuesday could squat no problem. As far as I know my deadlift form is pretty spot on... So I really don't think splitting up legs with one day revolving around quads and calfs, and the other day revolving around hams is a bad idea.

He asks because your form is probably all wrong.  That or you're using too close of a grip and actually working your triceps more than anything else.

Look online for proper form.  Try out dumbells.  Make sure you're hitting incline.  Always mix it up month to month.

My problem might be that I don't lift straight up (I don't know that for a fact but it's a possibility). I'll have to try to pay more attention to keeping my elbows closer to my body and lifting straight up next time. If that doesn't help.. I don't know.

I'm doing incline too.

Same here
durden, it's sort of like saying that you shouldn't do chin ups on pull day because they work your chest because chin ups do work your chest to some extent, but it's not a primarily a chest exercise. Similar with deadlifts. As long as you can handle deadlifting and then squatting the day after(or vice versa), I don't see any problem.

I would also think that the volume of training has to be looked at when recommending this. If you're going for high volume, I'd wait before doing this. But if you're doing relatively low volume, you should be alright.

Did you mean pull ups?

Even if you can handle it, its still not the most efficient way to do it.  If it works, then it works but I still wouldnt recommend it to someone.

I still dont know of a good way to make a program with a split like that.  It just makes more sense to keep both ant/post. legs on the same day.

 

[scott frost]

So with "push/pull", you would advise legs on their own day, incorporated with the other two days?

both pull ups and chin ups
Efficient in what way? Some people train more for fun and strength rather than size. I wouldn't see it being a problem there. Obviously it's not ideal for gaining the most strength like powerlifters aim for, but for a regular guy, you don't need that level of strength anyway.

I'm not much of a fan of splitting body parts up and working them separately though.

Thanks for IRONADDICTS.COM I was previously on BB and couldn't get much help. I am 6'1 265, I need to loose about 60lbs over time.

Chin ups dont use the chest, but thats besides the point.

Efficient meaning getting the most out of every exercise.  Those are two important lifts and it just makes more sense to me to do both of them at full strength.

I dont like splitting body parts up either, but I dont see a problem with having a leg day by itself.

Theres no problem doing a straight leg deadlift instead of a standard deadlift though.
