    Hit 85 pound Dumbbells on incline today for 6. Pretty happy with that tbh, I dont focus on strength my workouts are 100 percent hypertrophy based. As long as I get progressively stronger, even if it's a little im happy. Getting stronger while being lean and maintaining a super strict diet is hard. Bench especially correlates very strongly with body weight.

    And if anyone wants a good starting diet that's pretty easy to follow, and not to expensive I can link. It's a 2500 calorie diet with high protein, moderate carbs, and low fat. I can help you change it up a little bit to fit your goals as well if needed. Used this diet in the beginning to drop from 190 to around 180. Then lowered the carbs and started implementing refeeed days every 10 days to cut the remaining weight.

    2 hours of cardio
    2 hours of arms
    2 hours of leg :gotwtf:

    But who was every other bodypart? I ain't no coach or nothing, but 2 hours seems a lil' excessive.

    Good job on the PR.

    I used to always just do hypertrophy and it was cool. I added in another set for more volume in terms of muscle building. I would suggest switching some things here and there though. Such as:

    1. Pyramid the weight up so each set go slightly heavier.
    2. Do a round of your work outs as hypertrophy range (8-12) then the next time you do a round of your workouts switch it to endurance (15 reps for each set)
    3. Could mix in some strength specific workouts of 1-5 reps but again, if you're pyramiding the weight up you can touch on this.

    Again you don't have to take the advice, but I've found I've gotten stronger by staying the same weight and doing such.

    For my main compound movements such as incline bench, I do 4-8 reps. Than for flies and my second compound movement flat I do 8-12.

    Hey guys, so I don't normally post in here (or at all actually lol), but I was wondering if any of you had any advice for dealing with pectus excavatum. I don't usually work out specifically for looks, but it really annoys me.
    So yeah, any help would be appreciated, and I'll post photos in the morning if necessary.

    Cheers

    A lot of that has to do with posture and slumping shoulders. But exercise wise, basic chest, shoulder, and back exercises would be beneficial. I've also heard of people working on deep breathing exercises.

    There's most likely not going to be a quick fix depending how severe it is so making little changes in how you stand, sit, and walk would probably put you in the right direction.

    Cookie Dough, S'mores, Mint Chocolate Chunk was pretty solid, White Chocolate Rasberry.

    Basically you can't go wrong with any of the ones with the chunks in them

    My muscles especially in my arms have built up rapidly by using a Powerspin which looks like some sort of weird toy that doesn't make sense but the results are amazing. On a daily basis I spin 10 minutes on each arm per day and after 2 weeks the results are crazy.

    Cookies & cream are actually my least favorite. I just tried mint chocolate last week and it was amazing. Apple pie and strawberry cheesecake are up there with the best.
