Holy fuck Creatine Loading in the morning on an empty stomach is a BAAAAAAD Idea. Explosive shits half hour later 2 days in a row. Guess I'll have to go back to taking it at night.
First leg day in 3 weeks. Fuck. Hammies were screaming at me. Still managed 3plates for reps though. Reverse Deadlifts destroyed me. I picked the wrong day to walk to the gym haha. Fuck took me 15 minutes to do a 5 minute walk.
doing heavy military press vs front, rear and lateral raises. the raises will build your anterior, lateral, and posterior deltoids and youll get a good pump from them. but heavy military presses will build mass in the shoulder.
...
for example you can do flies for chest and raises for shoulders and have defined shoulders and chest, but if you do heavy military presses and heavy bench (incline), you put meat into that area in front of your arm pit that isnt really your shoulder or chest, but connects the 2 to your arm.
Any suggestions on how to put some meat on the rear of the shoulder to balance this? I'm finding that I can grow connector area in the front, but most of my shoulder/incline work seems to be pulling my posture forward from insufficient rear shoulder/lat tie-in work
This is my most difficult area, and has been for years. Anyone got ideas?
The best rear delt exercise I've done so far is that one that was posted in a video awhile ago. Laying on an incline bench and holding a 5 or 10lb plate and doing the lift from there. Fucking rear delt just screams. I do volume with that particular lift. I've never felt a more specific rear delt target movement like that.
i dont see how you can apply this to all weight classes, obviously easier for a 200lb person to achieve than a 150lb guy
i benched 275lbs and deadlifted 400lbs at 175lbs.
right now my maxes are 295 bench, 315 squart, 425 deadlift at 180-190lbs without really even focussing on lifting big weight. and i feel like im just starting to move decent weight.
i used to think benching 1 plate was "for the big guys." don't ever cut yourself short. you mind is the strongest force behind lifting.
Ugliness and fatness are genetic disorders, much like baldness or necrophilia, and it's only your fault if you don't hate yourself enough to do something about it.

The biggest mistake I used to commit in the gym is always doing weight I know I can do, I was always scared to advance because I was scared to fail. That was setting myself up for failure in my opinion.
It's amazing how bumping weight up can feel so damn heavy the first time you try it, but if you can knock out a few reps, it feels like your 'normal' weight next time. And then you go from there

so true. theres been countless times i've been doing a certain weight for so long because i think i cant lift any more. then one day i just grab an extra 5lbs or 10lbs and push it nearly as well. the body knows what it can do better than your mind does.
everyone know you can't fit in skinny jeans if you work your legs
side note: this thread gives me motivation to get through finals so I can start training somewhat seriously. I'll post up a formal intro for myself once I'm done.
