@mm1992 Yeah I heard free weights can build more core stability but they have their downsides. Unfortunately my gym is kinda lacking in terms of machines, but the ones that are available I'll make sure to use, thanks for the advice !

@mm1992 Yeah I was honestly under the false impression that more volume = more gains, after a bit of research I can see I was hella wrong about it. I ended up cutting my upper day to just incline DB press (or bench), cable fly, lat pull down (or pushup), bent row (or with a machine), DB OHP...

@notsure17 It feels good, I used to be sore when I started out but now I've accustomed to it and it's fine, since I'm going this hard I made sure everything else is perfect, I get at least 2.2grams of protein each day, lots of water, superfoods like spinach, kale, vitamins, etc. Sleeping for at...

@aloap_aloap What do you mean by 5-6 movements? As in do 1 exercise per muscle? (e.g just bench instead of adding cable fly and pec deck)
