Also I hope you're making your own dressings :P If not then I'd recommend it big time. Don't have to take my advice though, of course. I'm excited for you :) Link to comment
Eggplant Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 So, I think I picked a bad time to start working out full body at the gym. I just have not enough free time to go there every day, it's 45 minute ride each way. I'm mostly satisfied with my appearance with my current size, other than my chest, weakest part. I'm thinking of focusing just on my chest with like, the dumbbells and bench that i have downstairs below my room. And maybe resume full-body workout with the gym's college in two months, so I'm not wasting time and money. How healthy is it for my body to do chest every day? How much rest do I need? And what kind of training program would you recommend? How far should I push myself to get my pecs to grow? In this full-body thing that I've been doing, it's chest day once a week. I'm wondering if I can bump that up at the cost of other areas, at least for now til maybe august. Link to comment

How often can I work on chest to optimize growth? I realize rest days are necessary. Can I do like, two days in a row and then rest? Or should two workout days on the same part always be separated by a full rest day at least? In which case i could do every other day? Link to comment

Orangeslash Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 Yup, what Think said. I usually do chest Monday and Thursday. When you do it, go all out. Emlee 1 Link to comment
DoubleJ Posted June 9, 2015 Author Share Posted June 9, 2015 Damn this trip has really robbed me of my man strength. Getting back into the bench press workout and im having serious trouble working through. Not breaking a sweat just feeling generally weak. I power through but i havent felt like this in a while. Trying to eat well but i think the eternal daylight is screwing with my sleep schedule. Orangeslash 1 Link to comment

I'll skip the gym for 2 weeks every now and then and the first week back is deathly but the 2nd I feel like the strongest man in the world. Link to comment

raaidn Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Sad to admit this, but been slacking on my diet lately. And by slacking I mean eating to much carbs. But today, I finally found the swoly spirit again. Went to the gym and crushed legs, just before killing my shoulders. Went for a 40 min walk Had chicken+spinat for dinner.

Kazooka Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 I did shoulders today and a guy walked in and looked exactly like Jesse aka eggplant. . I thought he found me and wanted to be my gym partner finally. Was disappointed when it wasn't him. :( someday egg, someday! Orangeslash 1 Link to comment
Emlee Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 Buying 0% fat, no flavour or sugar added greek yogurt and then adding vanilla protein powder to it is heaven. <3 Also omf none of my shorts, bikinis, tank tops, etc fit me now and it's frustrating. Body change is good and positive and I am happy with it but it might be expensive to buy new clothes ;_________; DoubleJ 1 Link to comment
DoubleJ Posted June 14, 2015 Author Share Posted June 14, 2015 Yooooooo probs asked this before, but I'm looking into a new Pre-Workout (busy schedule, feel like I need it) and I was wondering if you guys had any recommendations. I used to use N.O.-Xplode by BSN which got me feeling pretty right until I read about all the fake shit in it. Wasn't too excited about Creatine either considering I was trying to lean up then and the retaining water idea wasn't big on my list. Currently looking into "PurePump" since it doesn't appear to have any artificial sweeteners, flavors, or additives. Link to comment
Kazooka Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 (edited) I just got this new protein. Zero carb Sro. It looks like breast milk, and it has clumps in it and it smells like spoiled milk. GG 40.00. Mfw it's 2lbs. Wish me luck and pray I don't puke :) Never again. Update: taste like complete shit and I gagged. Rip me.
