Nice and climbable…OH HAI THIS ISN"T PM?
27/(NA)/West Coast, baby
What’s your athletic background? Did you play sports when you were younger?
I’m going to try the Mountain Dog shoulder workouts…my shoulders grow the fastest and respond the best to just about any exercise, which means I’m also shoulder dominant in pressing. Just my fucking luck.
Yes, I try to retract my scaps but I don’t always feel it in the chest; it’s not consistent for me.
Great work rate and strength Bug. Been MIA for a few weeks (me that is) is your latest avi showing up leaner than usual? Were you working on that? Solid throughout.
Xander, yessir Im 4 weeks into a diet.
I played soccer till I was 15, and tennis till I was 17. So no sports that really helped out with strength or size, ha.
Bout to go do some mountain dog shoulders myself! Woooooo Im pumped.

hey ponce what do you do for chest? I’m pretty triceps dominant in my pressing but found that switching to all DB’s really helped my chest grow. DB incline, DB flat, weighted dips while leaning forward and then a fly movement really helped my chest out IMO.
Something you might want to consider… get a big stretch in the bottom of the rep and dont totally lock out. That helped my chest growth.

Good stuff in here Bug. You’re two inches taller than me and only weigh slightly more than me but you look way thicker. Maybe I’m just “big boned” like cartman or something. Yeah that must be it 
greg, I don’t think I’m as thick as you think. My arms and legs lack the thickness, relatively speaking, to my torso. Your legs and arms look good on your body. Luv.
Great shoulder day today. Not much else to say about that except I wish my standing military was amazin like EP’s.

Work time. I feel great. Seeing slight leanness changes. And I still have 2 more months of dieting. Giggity.
What exercise are you using for the delt destroyer of doom? Don’t tell me those are DB presses, because that is a crazy amount of pressing lol

I’m also interested in finding out what those delt destroyers of doom are. If they are DB presses, more evidence of your awesomeness.
LOL. Have you guys not read the Meadows shoulder article? He describes it much better than I can

I think a while ago I tried those and liked the feel in the chest, but I think I was also developing carpal tunnel due to typing so fucking much, so I think the DBs bothered my wrists more and I ditched them for that reason. I will have to try them again next week. I remember doing DB press on decline bench with a rotation (Suki press?) and I liked it a lot, but wrists hurt with that, too.
I’ve been using pushup bars and foam rolling and stretching the pecs, to see if I can improve the mind-muscle.
I’ll go back to DBs for a bit.
Oh, and Alpha’s log where he suggested always doing a pulling exercise before a horizontal push exercise. I think he said he got it from Cressey. Anyone else agree with that logic?
I do chest and back in same session.
Crazy high reps on delts. I like it, I think a big thing with delts is high rep laterals. Killin it buddy!

You need to think and talk positive Bug. Your arms don’t suck. If you have to, think of them as a work in progress. Your training looks solid. Lots of direct arm work which will pay off since you’re trying to add size. In my experience, training hard = results. As far as pumps are concerned, I have a problem with ridiculous forearm pumps. It actually hurts, but there is no way to avoid them.
P.S. Imagining your “animal mode” bb curls has vastly improved my night. Thanks, hope you have a good one;)
