@alexander5106954665 I focus on my best set so for chest that would either be the first or second set leg extensions I get more reps on my 2nd or 3rd set for whatever reason

@bridgette26 I know some bodybuilders that buy liquid pasteurized egg whites and throw it into shakes but yes, the protein powder should be a lot more convenient. Yeah, the beef protein powders I heard is mainly gelatin, while great to digest not really the best for muscle building.

@kaieraai Some factors to consider. Theoretically, hitting calves first whether in your leg workouts or other work outs should allow you to recruit more motor units, bigger weights, mechanical tension which is a bigger signal for growth. This is also true for more stable exercises over less...

@bridgette26 Might have to use a blender

@bridgette26 Try egg white protein. But speaking candidly, if you get enough protein in the rest of your diet from other high quality protein sources it shouldn't matter. But I get it. I used to eat chicken 3-4 meals a day with eggs, cottage cheese/greek yogurt/Skyr 1-2 protein shakes can...

@basabeo Losing 1 Kilo and than concluding from a scan that 60% of that was lean mass is a bit of a reach. There's something called regression to the mean. Plus the fact that humans are 70% water and there easily could be a few pounds differential just based off of water..

@lostandfoundproverbs31 I saw that video. There's only so much extension you can have before you start lengthening the lat again. Try contracting one of your lats as hard as possible with one of your arms. You're humorous maybe at most might go five or 10° behind your back. I just tried it and I...

@lostandfoundproverbs31 doing an upright row like the guy with your dumbells is doing your humerus bone is undergoing primarily abduction which lengthens the lats otherwise dumbell and cable lateral raises would hit the lats There is a touch of humeral extension too. But when you're starting...

@lostandfoundproverbs31 The lat attaches to the upper arm. When you're doing a vertical row, you're actually lengthening the lat so other than as a stabilizer it's not an active mover. During a bunch of rows that actually work the lat at a bunch of different angles, they shorten during the...

@earnest1018 I would bench the barbell bench for a while and find other exercises to make your primary chest movement. I really like incline cable chest press because it gives me awesome tension and pump in the upper chest. But maybe you'd be better off doing incline smith bench press like Sam...

@earnest1018 What is your exercise selection for chest and shoulders if they're weak with a 370 bench?

@kagenonikki You could just count it in the same vein as carbs from a calorie and not building muscle perspective.

@neverbeenalone Guess I'll have to bust out my calculator at every meal

@zobers Post your question in the daily thread. Also mention if you plan to do it 4-6 days a week and or available equipment.

@delivered2019 probably better arm growth, how many days you going to the gym on upper lower?

@taught2beenslaved Thanks, I'll give them a follow on Insta/watch some vids.

@delivered2019 You're going to be weaker on presses doing triceps first but you'd either have to take that as a consequence of prioritizing arms or go for pec dec/cable flies to compensate

@cinnamoroll Given your time investment it might be worth going with a reputable coach, to go over what could be holding back your progress... But if you want some more online resources, some of Paul Carter's stuff is pretty illuminating. He used to be a huge Mentzer fan, ran Doggcrapp etc...

@setst777 you may feel cg bench well with tris but they won't hit the long head well Regular pushdowns have been ass for me for as long as I've been lifting. Cross body weather dual or single arm have been money for me
