Yea I was doing 95 on bench today
I've spent this week figuring out what weights I should be doing, plan on doing ~3-4 weeks of it then going back to heavy.
Been leaving the gym with a crazy pump

CT Fletcher is wild
If he was in my gym while I was lifting I think I'd get annoyed though, he makes so much noise

No F's given son. His outlook on lifting is rare these days. One of my favorite quotes of his is "F*** you overtraining ************* i already told you, ain't no such thing as overtraining".CT Fletcher is that dude. Been looking at his videos and I like his attitude when it comes to lifting. Just ****ing do it.
"**** your ROM".
Which im really starting to think is true, back in the day bodybuilders would do chest or legs or arms etc... 3 times a week just because they can. For example, there's this dude i used to work with a few years ago. An absolute beast, he would do 500 pushups, 1500 pullups (he could do sets of 50, seriously) & 30 minutes on the treadmill every morning, then at night after work, he would hit the weights & do another 30 minutes on the treadmill. His caloric intake was off the hook though, i would walk into the break room & he'd have the biggest chicken salad ever, a banana, an apple, a protein shake, granola bar, cup cakes, chips & a v8. Just unreal.
I listen & take advice from my dude from work, CT Fletcher & people of their likeness, not what flex magazine & supplement companies want us to believe.
Just out of curiosity, what is it about him or his words that make you take his advice?

Kale is considered bitter by most. It is in a smoothie so I don't really taste it. I use a lot of celery in the green shake anyways.

Can someone explain BCAA to me? When it would be used also. I currently take a Amyno post workout which contains BCAA's. What would the difference be in taking BCAA pills instead of my post workout drink.

There are 9 essential Amino Acids (the building blocks of proteins). Of those, there are 3 that have a specific, branched structure: leucine, isoleucine, and valine. BCAA supplements include those 3 amino acids, but many supplements use different ratios of the 3. Leucine is the main effector and stimulates most of the gains, which is why many supplements have 4 to 8 times as much leucine as isoleucine and valine. Some also include Glutamine, which has been shown to be conditionally essential.
If you wanted to use BCAAs, you would need to dose fairly high: 20-50g per workout. They are helpful for recovery, especially in hard training phases or when trying to gain muscle or lose body fat.
Whey protein and the other various protein powders usually include all 20 amino acids. If you took 20g of BCAAs, you are getting 20g of BCAAs. If you took 20g of whey, you get 5g of BCAAs, which isn't necessarily bad. The other amino acids are also important for protein synthesis and recovery.

My take away is to just not overthink and just do. You can get caught up in the minutia when the bigger picture is just being active, consistent and engaged.

You know's what better than eating sweets? Buying a sweet and then making it inedible. Douse that piece of apple pie from the market with french onion dressing and salsa, mash it all up and then throw it away. It feels great. Try it.
