i did but im switching back to to bi/back

my arms look good just the whole point of me bulking was to get a ton of mass added to my arms and chest and everything else look good. but looks like i gotta just continue eating and lifting and maybe it will eventually get there.

 I feel like some people just have certain body parts that are stubborn to grow. My biceps and chest are so damn hard for me to grow

 

[knightlovesqueen]

yea, back and biceps are my weaker parts.

i excel more in chest and tri exercises.

Zyzz why not incorporate some FST-7 principles into some of your exercises?

As far as supplements only taking a pre-workout, multivitamin and whey protein. I've cut out all fast food/fried food and no sodas as well. Also planning on doing some Insanity workouts for cardio if I get bored with jogging. Any advice on my current workout? I mainly want to cut another 15-20 and work on getting my cardio back up.

Any suggestions on shaping up your lower chest? I've done, decline bench press, dumbbell presses, dumbbell flies mixed with my inclines for a whole year to avoid too much flat bench. I'm currently pressing 185# on the decline bench, pressing 80# dumbbells, and 35# flies. My chest still got a somewhat 'U' instead of a square lower chest.
 

 

[miketysonthekiller]

LOL frank yang>>>>

 

[knightlovesqueen]

Try doing press exercise on a resistance ball bro

Do decline presses on a resistance ball? I do flat flies on a resistance ball, that's about it...for stretching purposes. Any workout suggestions?

Try doing the same exercises but with a reverse grip. Also I just started doing light weights and more reps for my arm day since its a smaller muscle group.

Ive been trying to get a better "peak" on mine and its coming in but very slowly

i used to have rather big arms years ago then i had stopped working out and remained pretty big then before i got in weightlifting heavily i cut before building muscle so my arms ended up getting smaller from my cut.

sucks at this point but ill get somewhere eventually.

LOL NO. but perhaps adding other chest exercises can open u up a bit more. switch it up u know what i mean

 

[marcmac360]

Got the deadlift up to 365. Not bad for a frail 160 pounder. Goal: 4 plates.


Keep up the good work NT fit fam

Weighted dips work very well for the lower chest if you're positioned at that right angle and lean forward

[macbk]

Hurricane Sandy has had my gym closed past two days so far. Doing some push-ups and whatnot in the house, it just isn't the same.
