Everything else grows so quickly, is there some sort of special lift I can do to make it growwwww?
Acute rises in anabolic hormones don't equate to much as these need to be chronically elevated to see true merits and these rises tend to level off after a short period.Cool let me know how it goes. Also make sure you do squats and deadlifts. The thighs are the biggest muscles in ur body, so even just squats alone will serve as the catalyst for ur body to naturally produce more hormones (growth hormone + more if im not mistaken). Back when i thought i could get a good body without having to do squat, when i would reach a plateau, id go and squat and wouldnt u know my bench would go up a week later. Add deadlifts, maybe cleans and u are set. Proper form tho, if you cant find sum1 to show u correct form, hold off til u can pay for a training session or something. Even squatting with no weight is good tho.
From what I've seen you post you know a lot... But who mentioned rises in hormones, I understand that the temporary rises in test/ gh from squat mean nothing in terms if over liftsAcute rises in anabolic hormones don't equate to much as these need to be chronically elevated to see true merits and these rises tend to level off after a short period.
The post I quoted above mentioned the rise in endogenous anabolic hormones.From what I've seen you post you know a lot... But who mentioned rises in hormones, I understand that the temporary rises in test/ gh from squat mean nothing in terms if over lifts
As I already said, they don't matter much as they are not acute hormones. Full deads are better than rack pulls.But am I wrong in that they don't matter very much?
IME, no. Rack pulls have a place, but not an overly prominent one. Snatch-grip deads are better for the back development compared to conventional deads as the grip causes greater upper back involvement.My legs are still sore on my back day. More weight dissent equal more for my back?
Dude I had the same problem, everyone else had huge chests but mine was not growing and this is what worked for me:Everything else grows so quickly, is there some sort of special lift I can do to make it growwwww?
That's some great advice I'd also recommend dropping weight and reconnect with your chest muscles try that for a few weeks really squeeze the chest at the too of your contractions and don't extend arms all the way up keep it in your chest. Good luckLol. Well im assuming you're talking about something other than Barbell Bench Press.... Try using dumbbells for benching, as well as for flies. If youre like me, my front delts do a lot of the work in the regular bench press which is great for my shoulders, but not so good for the chest.... Dips are probably most effective for me, but on any bench press variation i find my delts come less into play least on a decline, most on an incline. Also u can try having the bar move up and down a bit closer to ur stomach (just a lil) as opposed to aligned with ur nips lol
One of the many things that most trainees can learn from powerlifting: how to bench most efficiently and doing so safely.Google the "so you think you can bench" series; you can limit the amount of involvement the delts play during the bench press by retracting the shoulder blades.
I never noticed much from adding in chest flyes and I tend to cringe at the amount of stress my shoulders undergo during the movement. Spinning DB presses and DB presses are staple for me and have done wonders my chest development.
