This is true, but don't forget that chest gains are the hardest to have and you just need to be hitting it with crazy volume if you want to add mass. Don't neglect your triceps either, CGBP is a really good exercise.

I will probably add in a couple more sets when bulkin'. Strong doms this morning though.

It is, but it's also really terrible for my wrist aids.

A lot of people have lagging chests, sometimes because they don't do enough volume, but I guarantee 90% of the time it's due to people not having good chest activation during exercises.

And i know for sure i fall into this category as everyone knows i have mutant shoulders. I'm feeling my chest work more in workouts recently, and as a result i'm seeing chest gains while on a cut and doing less volume than before. Wizardry right.

Once i get it nailed i'll add in more volume because like i said currently any more pressing is not going to be as chest active as i'd like but with practice it'll be good.

I'm always tired, I've been tired for years. Just the past couple of weeks have been a bad phase for some reason. And going to the gym after work definitely seems sub-optimal for me in terms of energy levels. Nytol seems to have made a srs difference the last 2 nights though, hopefully not a fluke but time will tell.

Ice cream binge over, demolished 2 tubs of Ben & Jerrys over the past 4 nights. Still below 82kg lol fml. Day to day food consumption is upped with a bit of a switch around in macros and less **** food all around (stomach says **** you). Average training day is now ~3500 cals, 220p, 400c, 110f. Non training days minus pwo shake cals. Do i need that much protein? Highly doubt it but gotta try something to make these gains.

Also going to stop trying to increase lift weights so often and keep working on the old mind-muscle strong form etc training.
