What's your advice for best gains in lifting weights? |
i have no advice for chest hehe. I hate my chest. My back is simply amazing and my legs are good. Biceps,shoulders, chest, calves, and abs all need work.

How come?
I always do flat bench press first so if I do like 155-166 lbs in last set, I can hardly do 122 lbs on incline... |
incline bench gives you a better looking chest. Flat bench is for strength, incline for looks. So you should try to be at least doing your main workout on them alternating if not a 2:1 incline:flat |

Haha, join the club. :p I don't like my chest either. But I'm satisfied with just about everything else except calves. I need to improve my abs, but generally they're okay.
Oh, and I was thinking of general workout routine for lifting weight improvement, not specifically for chest.

See, Im beginning to get that feeling that I jumped into the gym way too quick/hard... after a couple weeks, I started to slow down.
My first day back in the gym I ran for 40 mins (when I was in shape and working out, I could hardly get through 15 mins so it was wierd). It felt great though. :p
Im gonna tone it down a bit, stick to the weights for now, with brisk running. |

Well, when i was regularly working out, I'd run 3 miles a session in about 20 mins and then concentrate on weights. Worked out well for me :)
I need to get back this week. |

Id run 3 miles in 30-35 mins. I would take my time, let my legs dictate what pace to run at, about 20 mins into it, Id be rippin it. |

She did get crazy flexible and balanced though |
