    Bulking and van driving

    @bc1 Initially I thought this could be a blood glucose regulation issue, but given that you’re pretty lean, timing your carbs later in the day, and walking after meals there has to be something else going on here. You could try using betaine hcl and digestive enzymes (I like NOW super enzymes)...

    Seriously stubborn and weak chest

    @christianmom21 If neither are progressing I don’t think it particularly matters which one he swaps. If he chooses to swap barbell he can still go for more reps/partial reps on DBs.

    Seriously stubborn and weak chest

    @polarbearwear Assuming your execution is as tight as you say, I would probably try swapping out the barbell movements for machines for a while, and/or increase frequency for pressing movements.

    Seriously stubborn and weak chest

    @polarbearwear What does your programming look like for these movements? Are they all on one day? What is the volume of each? You said your nutrition is good, but what does it actually look like? Are you gaining weight?
