Agreed. At the time I did need the anxiety medicine. Got myself a brain personal trainer and now I’m pretty sure I’m fixed and I really want to get off this medicine. I’ve only been on it for about 8 months and coming off is going rather poorly right now lol. I took a 1/4 of a pill and I’m less dizzy now. Idk if it was a placebo or what… not sure what I should do lol

Decided I’m gonna try a real bro split. Only way to figure out if I like it is do it right?

My kind of workout right there. Now throw some droplets and supersets in there for more torturous fun

Dude it’s really intense. You can’t read the intensity in here but I’ve never trained like this. I’m excited.
Plan is to keep going like this and see how my body holds up before I start taking things beyond a simple failure. I still do some drop sets and stuff on isolation stuff, but on the more taxing lifts I’m gonna play it by ear.
My chest is actually sore today. I haven’t been sore in a while. Feels good mane 
Edit: any more ideas for chest exercises with free weights that you like? I couldn’t feel much on DB flys and when googling then athleneX said stop doing them

I lift almost entirely cables for chest. Incline flys are probably my favorite. Hold the cables at a 45 so they are running opposite of you muscle fibers in the chest. Hands down my fav

Definitely been eying some cable systems. I was actually thinking of doing chest and legs at a real gym with more machines and toys.

Call week is upon us. RIP gainz. Haven’t worked out since Tuesday. Missing the gym something fierce.

Ended up working all night and getting home around 8 this morning. Decided I wanted to work out more than sleep. The plan was to do 5 days worth of lifting but sleep deprivation got me after “day 3” workout. Gonna try and get a few hours of sleep and hit arms and shoulders to make it complete.
Very short rest times on all lifts as usual:

NOTES:
Left out dead’s, squats, and RDL’s because those are very taxing and I won’t be getting much sleep this week due to call week.
255 on the BOR’s felt horrible. Not sure if I’m just tired or wasn’t ready to move up from 245.

Wow dude. Your rowing strength has increased a lot very quickly.

thanks man!
Dips. I do dips at the end of every chest day and then I do these weird style dips that I saw Meadows doing. Your arms are straight you let your traps loosen up and kind of sag down then push yourself back up. Maybe look up Meadows Pec Minor dips. Those cause a fierce pump and push your upper chest out big time.
Nm found it. Exercise Index - Pec Minor Dip | Chest Exercise - YouTube
