omg tuna!
one slight scent of it makes me puke (seriously), anything else? |
Tuna is great food IMO! 30g pro, no carbs, 1g EFA (good fat). What else do you want?
Try this: 1 Tbsp cottage cheese/mozzarella on tuna, mix, microwave/heat. Yummy! |

if you feel like you're cheating yourself on your chest exercises just because the bench, then skip the bench and move to free weight dumbell press, you can practice form here and also target higher weights. i've moved away from the bench and gone to 60lb dumbell presses followed by a 8rep low weight close grip bench press using an easy curl bar or straight bar.
if you insist on benching for more of that large muscle mass, don't be afraid to ask someone to spot you, just make sure it's not a girl if your pressing over 150 lol. i prefer the free weight dumbell press since i stay right there for my incline press and incline flies where as with the bench you need to move those 45 plates off the flat and over to the incline/decline.
the only bench i hit is the decline bench which i pair up with cable crosses (light weight high rep) to define the muscle. I'm a big fan of stacking 2 exercises into 1 set, heavy weight exercise followed by a light weight high rep exercise - mainly during my chest and tri's day. for the back i couple my sets with a back exercise followed by a bicep exercise, sometimes standing straight bar curls.
I'm no where near my target of 155 but i definitely am aware of my body, exercises, and nutrition. Going to the gym is nothing if you don't compliment it with your food intake. Stick to the waters, complex carbs (multigrain bread), and low-sugar intake. |

yeah i usually go with a couple of my buddies to the gym, but they werent available yesterday, so i wasnt going at 100% when lifting the weights in fear that i would get stuck, also i was benching 205 and all the guys at the gym at that time looked skinny and weak :clown: |
