Re: Diet plan *MUSCLEADDICTION*

I think for different people myself included we naturally use more triceps and shoulders on bench. Some people are able to use more chest with beach without even knowing it. Therefore that persons chest grows faster than mine/yours. Also could just be genetics. Weird though cause my brother had a massive chest. So I have really started to concentrate on upper chest isolation move. I have def seen results.

Very true!! Watched a video with Brandon curry he was going in depth about all this. Some just just flat bench and huge thick chest top to bottom.

Fuckers! Lol

I loathe that one. Such a bitch to get into position without a buddy. They don't have any decline benches at my gym for DB use and too much hassle for the bar setup with DB. Do palms facing on those and they do work great.

I use the sit up thing. Love it. The contraction for me is the best, nice slow and controlled squeeze.

At the top push the dumbell to the ceiling...arms straight, really squeeze the contraction.

Gonna start adding these in and see. Can I perform them at the end of my workout?

Try this out.

Complete all pressing action movements first. Bench, Incline,
Machine etc etc.

Then move to pullovers / cages.

Then move to fly work.

Insane pump for me personally. This routine had widened and developed upper pecs.

OH!! I started the Svend presses regularly now. Really really like those.

Glad u like em LB. glad to see u back around here on the regular.
That's pretty much my formula as well. I just superset the pullovers and flys. On the flys I'll hold the stretch and let that shit marinate. Bitch weight on the fly but I mostly just want that fascia stretch and trying to watch the shoulders

Thanks brother. It feels good to have the time to devote back to the community in this board and others.

What do you mean by trying to watch the shoulders bro?

Shoulders are the most mobile and the least stable of all joints. IMO what IG means is you will see a lot of guys doing fly work and over exaggerating the open aspect of the fly. It's overkill for actual work done to the pectoral muscle and can injure the capsulitis tissue of the shoulder.

Slow and concentrated movements during fly work will build the pecs more than most realize. The negative movement during a fly is just an important building block as the positive movement. I used to go heavy with flys... No mas!! 35's or 40's 12-15 reps. Slow contracted movements and squeezing through the whole movement.

I know everyone is completely different and reacts to exercises differently. When I changed from lifting for power and strength and moved more towards slow controlled contracting movements my body started to shape differently and much more rapidly.

I spend far less time lifting now. My joints feel better and I don't ache near as bad. I still get nice and sore but not that sick achy feeling.

Kinda going with the mindset, "I want to build my body, not lift a bunch of weight."
