I’m sure he’d tell you either is fine, but to switch off if you are plateauing on one of them. I’m getting away from incline DBs, and switching between incline BB on the smith machine, flys, and flat DBs.
I hear ya, untoned piece of flab sucks lol. Ive seen guys with 20" bi’s and was like…eh…looks like shit. I started at 14 somethin and worked my way up to 15.5 and pretty tone. I wanna be a ripped 17" and ill be happy…for awhile.
I wanna get bigger period
Yeah i think im gonna switch on/off b/c im plateauing BAD, drives me fuckin nuts. What you weigh in at Trav??
Start eating ALOT more, and start liftin alot dude. Biggest thing is you gotta stop runnin those 15mile runs :lmao
You have a great starting point. Gaining an inch a year is HUGE. I’ve gained like 5/8s in the last 9 months, but I took 2 months off over the summer and was never REALLY serious about it till recently.
I can do 65’s on incline db, but I can’t get them up the first rep w/o help so I said eff that. Too much chance of injury.
roughly 179 right now. I was 179 2 months ago with a 38 inch waist. with Alans help, weigh the same now with 2 inches less around the belly (same weight, more muscle!). I want to get down into the 34 inch range before I do a dedicated bulking plan. You?
I HATE incline bench…what are you guys doing for close grip bench??
I’m doing it now as part of my tri routine, not sure what weight I use off of my head…i’ve been doing it on smith machines, they don’t always equate to a free barbell. I’d do it with a barbell, but i do every set to failure and I dont want to crush myself.
Nice, currently im 225, and a 36 waist(by pant size) and i wanna do essentially the same as you, slim down first, and then bulk back up. Eventually i would like to be all around ripped and 210 or so
I’m sure your waist is bigger then 36. I can wear a 32 inch pant with my waist as it is now (36). I measure mine daily, ha. It’s all about tracking your gains and losses.
just have a spotter help ya. Barbell is sooo much better than the machines IMO. I noticed a hell of a difference. Its funny i can damn near close grip what i can normally bench now. Tri’s are my thang!! :banana
Yeah im sure too lol. I just dont wanna know what it actually is :lmao
I wont mention mine :umm
NO spotters available when I workout man. I don’t mind using the smith machine for a couple things. I’d never use it to squat though. I love doing squats…so much focus required.
My weak things are my tris, bis and chest but I’m getting there for sure. I think my arms look decent now, albiet smaller then I eventually want them to be.
Get used to it-Alan will have you emailing him your waist/weight everyday. Do it first thing in the AM to keep it the most consistant.
Hmm, will do!
20? ;D
nah man 28
The beauty of my program is i’m never hungry…eating like 2600 cals a day on off training days, and 3k a day on training days. No cardio either!
