welp. the bad thing about working out solo is that theres no one to tell u if u might be doing something wrong.
Realized i was benching with my elbows not being tucked in enough doing 85 lbs dumbells. So now i corrected the form and im having a tough time doing 70lb. Oh well at least i think im working out more of my chest now.

I wanted to do this too and looked into it but I hear there's no real benefit - especially if you're already eating right.

On that note, I need to start cleaning up my diet or adding cardio/boxing to my regimen. My mid-section fat is stubborn as hell and I'm getting impatient.
Need to keep strengthening my core - how many times a week do you guys target specifically abs? (I know you can't spot reduce) I did the Ab Wheel + Russian Twists one day at the gym then the god damn Wheel disappeared. I'm thinking 2 or 3 times a week is good enough?

chobani is overrated IMO
maybe the flavors but the plain sucked. seems like all plain suck other than fage because its so thick and creamy yet the macros are awesome

Is it worth it to workout on a ****** diet?
Financial aid ran out, so now all my money goes to paying for my dorm. Ramen noodles, water, and peanut butter is pretty much all I consume until my lease is over.
Dat struggle lyfe

Yes indeed. I put a big handful or two into most of my shakes.2 scoops vanilla whey protein isolate, 1 tbsp The Bees Knees Flavor Peanut butter, spinach, a banana , dash of cinnamon and stevia for flavor.
Don't sleep on this. Spinach makes any smoothie look gross but it barely changes the taste. I'm sure that tastes delicious and it's healthy.

everything's been going well however I need more of that growth on the chrest area.
I have noticed improvements and better cut, but I want to gain more size.
Any tips?
when it comes to my routine for strictly chest, this is what I've been doign for the past month.
Bench Press 5 x 12,12,12,10,6 (declining reps due to high weights).
Incline Dumbell Press 4 x 12,10,10,8 (declining reps as well because I increase the weight)
Lower Cable Chest Flys 3 x 10
Weighted push ups 2 x failure
However I didn't include the supersets as I've been suppersetting those exercises with back. (a push and pull in a sense).
Lemme know some feedback NT! Anything would help out. Thanks in advance! Keep pushing!

Unfortunately chest - once.
I understand that it should be twice but balancing gym and work is tough. I go minimum 3 times. 4 times some weeks.

I have the same issue but what i do is go hard on push ups another night during the week. So say i do chest Monday. On Thursday ill do 6-8 sets of push ups usually between 20-25 or so a set. Im sure its not alot for most people but do what you are comfortable with.
I start with a really wide hand position
Then diamonds
And end with side to side like below. Im not sure the real name so i added the video
After the first 3 sets i repeat and go until im dead if you have some dumbbells u can add some flys between sets.
Its nothing like hitting chest and going hard twice a week but if you just dont have the time then you can try this

The reason people are talking about all this is because they (myself included) want to get the very most out of the hard work they're putting in every day. There aren't many people in here talking about not wanting to workout.
If you don't want to be around people trying to improve themselves, head on out of here.
