Is there any in between? Building muscle and getting cut at the same time.
Also, any of you currently taking any supplements?

well its lighter weights with more reps to get cut. you also have to do cardio with a proper diet to speed up the process;) .
heavier weights with less reps help gain muscle mass.
it is possible to gain muscle mass and get cut. you just have to do an ample amount of cardio, eat a low carb diet and weight train. while you weight train your body will use your existing fat as energy.
i take tricreatine and no2 to build muscle. then i take whey protien to feed the muscle. then i take l glutamine to help the muscle recover faster.....
then my kidneys and liver fail from all the supplements:eyespop: . |

man i haven't done decline bench in a long ass time man. is it making that big a difference to the bottom of the pec? i might have to start doing it again...
who else does a lot of decline ? |

| you can do cable crossovers and simulate the motion of decline bench, and even get more extreme than you can on incline bench. but not as effective i'd say... |

| well i mean...i'm perfectly capable of doing decline bench...my bench declines...i just haven't been doing it...wondering if its something i should pic up... |
|

| Masonious |

I used to do alot of decline bench.. but i stopped for about a year since my new gym doesnt have a bench.. i resort to cable cross overs now mainly. I find that its not extremley necessary but it might be wise to start doing it at some point to increase your overall bench and chest strength.. A decline bench should be easier to preform than a regular bench and incline should be the most dificult.. at least from my experience
This is because i think that hte way the chest is shapped most of the muscle mass is situated towards the lower chest
i know tons of people who never do decline bench.. is presonal preference.. I would say incline and regular are far more important thuough |

I'm not doing it so much for my lower pec but, rather to really focus on SQUEEZING the crap out of my inner chest.
I'm not using much of a decline and, the way I do the movement, I'm pressing up and rotating the weight so that the pinkie finger side of my hands are coming together. The squeeze is just awesome. I can literally feel the striations being etched into my chest. :p |

I haven't read anything about you guys stretching. Do you guys do it before working out? I stretch at least 5 minutes.
Todays workout: 10 minutes of boxing with a 80lb heavy bag in a 95 degree garage, pure bliss. :D |

Same here. Today's workout was more than great. I absolutely killed my legs. :wtf: Here's what I did:
Squats
8x 40 kg (88 lbs)
8x 60 kg (133 lbs)
8x 70 kg (155 lbs)
6x 80 kg (177 lbs)
Leg extension
8x 35 kg (77 lbs)
8x 40 kg (88 lbs)
8x 45 kg (100 lbs)
8x 50 kg (111 lbs)
Leg press **
8x 140 kg (311 lbs)
8x 145 kg (322 lbs)
8x 150 kg (333 lbs)
8x 155 kg (344 lbs)
Lying leg curl
Damn, forgot to do it today. :( Oh well...
Hanging leg raise
8x 1 kg (2 lbs) on each leg
8x 2 kg (4 lbs) on each leg
8x 2 kg (4 lbs) on each leg
8x 2 kg (4 lbs) on each leg
**
If I do leg press when I'm tired, after squats and leg extension, I can hardly do 150 kg (333 lbs).
But if I do it at the beginning of the training, when I'm not tired, I can do a lot more (obviously).
Last time I did it at the beginning of the training was around 1.5, maybe 2 months ago.
Back then I did 6 reps with 170 kg (377 lbs).
Now I can probably do 200 kg (444 lbs) or more. At least 6 reps.
Next training I'll do leg press first to see how much I improved. :) |
