^ This superset and Snatch Grip High Pulls have ballooned my traps the past couple months

Never do BB or DB shrugs crew

Biceps and cardio. Really starting to hate biceps. So boring and i dont have the same intensity as with other muscle groups.


This guy i see often at the gym and sometimes work in sets with told me im looking lean. im not even cutting. Feels good being told that when youve gained weight

Bro I'm starting to hate biceps as well. Its the only muscle group where I feel a true "pump" though after a workout. It's also the only part of me that gets noticed when I'm making gainz. Could have straight up cobra back and people are like "bro have you been working out? Your arms are huge! What do you curl?" Like 90 lbs to be honest

For me theyre absolutely boring. I just dont look forward to doing them. Like other muscle groups i be like "ok 3 sets of 10 lets get it" or whatever scheme im doing. But for biceps its no intensity no motivation, ***** not even fun to me lol.

My traps are probably my best bodypart behind chest and I haven't done a shrug since my first month of lifting.

Find me somebody who deadlifts heavy conventional with small traps, they get tons of work as long as you're hitting your compounds.

Biceps is boring af. I just do pull-ups, eff curls.

Yup, I just mess with compounds 90% of the time. I never isolate my traps, I'll just say that.

Conventional squad.

Benched 335x1 today. New soundview. I was so tired. It was a struggle getting it up. In 3 weeks I gotta go for 345. I'm scared.

During my refeed I ate 90g of Reese puffs. Of course the MFP was incorrect. I'm like "Damn, only 92 cals? I need to eat these more often!". Then I realized the next day wait...That 92 was really 400 calories and basically my refeed day was a dirty bulk day [emoji]128514[/emoji][emoji]128528[/emoji]

Cutting untIL I hit 182.

Also. Quest bars are trashy. Never buying one again. God forbid I take one on the go and don't carry an oven or microwave on my back to heat it up so it's actually "edible".

So far powerbar and pure protein chocolate PB has been great.

Biceps are the ish.

 

[6 Rings G.O.A.T.]

I prefer the old school style of protein bars over these questions bars texture protein bars..

 

[soundview]

The Arnold PB chocolate bar was good af too.

**** quest tho...Im eating them all first (bought them in bulk) so I can get it out the way and enjoy life for once...

Question?
Do people really do the 100 push ups everyday thing? (Morning or night) and if so does it work for you? My chest is probably the least developed body part I have and I always heard this and never knew of it was true or not to help build your chest. Can anyone vouch for it ?

 

[illphillip]

I can vouch for push ups

 

[tomdiginson]

Push ups definitely help.

 

[W)taps]

Push ups don't do nothin if you're past the noob gains unless you apply the principal of progressive overload

Just my opinion.....

Anyways, I can't flat bench press. My right shoulder hurts like crap. It's fine when I do straight vertical pushes like ohp but it hurts when I do a lateral raise motion or a flat bench. Incline bench is fine though...
