That's cool. .. why dont u barbell incline? if i feel like I'm not making progress i switch things up. Do more db work if im doing a lot of bb, or vice versa. Lower weight, increase reps or vice versa. Mix in different accessory work outs too. Or maybe focus on incline work to start when im strongest and finish with flat, if i usually start with flat.
Whatever works... i just think 3x a week is OD, unless yourr a freak or take things to allow the muscle breakdown process to accelerate. 1 to 2x is koo, but everyones body and goals are different

I just use db on incline because I like it and I don't need the rack so someone else can use it. I go late most nights anyways though so I can hog it all day now. I am gonna do what you said though. I'll probably just drop to 135 on incline to mix it up for a while. Confuse those muscles!

Don't really have any goals besides get bigger/stronger at this point. I'm pretty happy with my progress. Just trying to get my finesse game down. Perfect form and all that.

If it fits your macros

And

Once you have a good body composition, you can get away with a whole lot more.

First time posting in this thread but this is exactly my thought process. Today I hit chest, shoulders and triceps. Lowered the weight and focused on slower reps with near perfect form and constant tension.

I can't wait for spring to come so I can start running on the beach again.

can't you dod that now?

 

[everysingletime]

I suppose I could, since the weather is still warm-ish

 

[koebot]

I thought about picking up some hyperwarm gear so I could do the same thing as long as temps stay above mid 40's but I don't think that will be the case much longer.

and yeah, i get baffled by the advice in here sometimes. smolov jr is 4x/week. my in-laws are elite lifters and they've done cycles where they bench 3-4x/week. they got a multi-grip bar that i been dying to try out for bench and ohp.

Thats because the people giving the advice don't know what they're talking about 

Unless it you know who, he knows everything.

I'm 181 and not sure if I want to get back to a solid 187. Guess it's going to depend on how I choose to eat over the next month.

Anybody on here mess with tech at all to supliment their workouts?

I was having dinner with my brother last night (real type A cat) and he does fitbit, tracks his meals/calories through the app and competes with his friends on the app. Seems legit

Also, anyone have the apple watch? And use it during their workouts?

you going to need those extra 6 lbs so You can get to the basket better and do damage. You want to be Westrbrook, not Durant

Tdog and black intellect.

I do bench 2-3 times a week. I do 2 days on one rest day and repeat. Alternating bench on my on days. Working on widening up my grip for less distance to travel.

What I do now is start at 3x8 and work up the reps and once I can do a 3x12 I throw on another 10 pounds and start back at 3x8. Sometimes I do pyramids too starting at 135 ending at 190. Idk it just feels like I'm not making progress.

I did start doing more cardio too. 2 miles at a brisk pace to keep the metabolism up since I'm done working and I'll get fat if I keep my diet up with no cardio. Just curious why does it help bench?

Cliff bars are fine for me. I eat a lot of real food. I just have to eat every hour or I'm hungry so I just choke down a bar when I'm in a hurry and know I don't need a full meal.

That seems pretty legit to me man, I also bench twice a week and used to do it every day because I hated it and wouldn't do it if I didn't always do it haha.

My only rec would be maybe lowering the reps to 5 with a higher weight for a couple weeks? Do five sets and you should be able to do about 15lbs more than your 3x8

It worked for me once I was stuck at a certain weight.

True that cause I rather get the hole instead of being lazy and taking the shot
