I always thought it was weird when people called bench a chest exercise because I never felt it there. I’m in the no chest with good shoulders and arms crew, maybe it’s time to try something other than a barbell and dbells
Aren’t you the guy who just posted an update pic with his undeniably manly tits peeking out his tank-top?

I appreciate all the comments guys. I’m going to continue to try to progress on my new push/pull/legs routine and up my calories and I’ll report back in 12 weeks
That’s just the side tit, it’s basically part of the shoulder. Middle/inner pec is nonexistent and the muscle doesn’t really stick out from my body. I’ll take some pics at different angles at the end of the challenge to make my case for team no pecs
Well, side-boob is pretty sexy. Except on dudes.
Apparently one week of holiday, even an active holiday, is more than enoughugh to undo weeks of dieting.

One week?
Try a fucking day!
One trip to a burger joint and you’re up a kilo.
Sometimes I marvel at the human body and the mechanisms that ensure survival.
It’s like ‘here have some stored energy that will keep you alive and last a fucking lifetime’

It’s Einstein’s Theory of Burger Relativity. One pound of fat is like 3600 calories. But 3600 calories worth of burgers will add five pounds of fat. I think wormholes are involved.

Thank God that’s not true for me!
This makes as much sense as anything I can come up with! It is ridiculous how quickly I can undo my weekly work. Damn you, lack of discipline
I dunno about wormholes but I can vouch for a few donut holes.
I googled “Unified Theory Of Why You’re Fat” and there was nothing on the first page, so we can use that for any future endeavors or explanations.

I keep eating really well, then people keep bringing donuts to work.
I love donuts.
Pls stop.
(Still down 9 lbs though, so I guess something is working)

The war within continues to rage. I decide that I don’t need to cut and a few days later my stomach looks like a bowl of jelly.
I just wish one side would win so we could commit, but nooooo, it’s back and forth, back and forth.

I weighed myself this morning and I was down 1kg. Thought that was pretty good news considering I am not eating in a deficit or trying to lose any weight. Then I remembered I am trying to maintain my weight as close to 90kg as possible. Damn now I need to eat more again!!

I’ve been thinking about my goals (they are nebulous) and reviewing programs. I think I’ll try “Guaranteed muscle mass” starting mid march when I finish my rehab program.
Anyone tried this?
If so, how’d it work out? What did you base percentages on?
I have been pretty inconsistent the past couple of weeks. I had an injury, some work and car issues, plus Valantines days and traveling with my girl.
So I reached out to 10 000 kettlebell swings challenge, while trying to eat as clean as possible. I think I need some challenges to keep me consistent in the gym.
While I upped my bench and ohp I failed to make any body changes. I will try to update after the challenge is over which should be by the end of March with a pic and short review of the challenge. First two workouts made me feel misarable but I have never ever worked my glutes and hams that much. And it made me realise I have a girls grip.
@Frank_C did you run this? Or a version of?
I like the looks of that one, may need to incorporate some of these ideas. I have used the concept of “over-warmups” for a number of years, and personally think it is brilliant.

So here’s my almost-March update. I’m down .4 lbs since my first post, with continued cycling up a couple of pounds on the weekend and down during the week.
However, I feel much stronger and am making gains in every direction. I’m experiencing DOMS of one sort or another pretty much every week. This week, possibly due to having woken up with a kinked neck, but more I think because of sore/stiff from my workout a couple of days earlier, I had trouble one day reaching behind me to undo my bra. I of course announced this to my husband, then speculated that while the issue may have been my sore muscles, it was also certainly possible that I’m just getting so massive, normal behaviors are becoming impossible for me. Soon I’ll be one of those people who can’t hang their arms straight down.
The Transformation has been good for me. I don’t seem to be half-assing things as much as I normally would. I’m logging and putting more thought into what I’m doing. I find myself losing workout time less often because I’ve spent too much time screwing around. I have a better attitude about my weekend excess, figuring it’s feeding the harder work I’m doing (though of course I have this vague “I can always get shredded right at the end” plan).
I ran three consecutive miles a week or two ago, but have been able to really keep that down in favor of much harder hill sprints and longer incline walks, which feels like a success to me. I think maybe my compulsion to rack miles with the limited time I have is giving way to a healthier focus on all-around functional strength and endurance.
So all of that said, I guess I’ll go work out.

No, but I think I’ve tried each of those methods. It’ll be a good program if a person does it with the right effort.
