about 4 months of back. i began to pay more attention to my back. just protein. @150 pds.

[bchhun]

i would reset and use the weight that allows you to keep form. it seems like you'd eventually have to drop the weight if you want to improve your technique.

[Tim_Whatley]

what are the best exercises for working towards being able to do chinups and pull ups?

thanks

[NatseOklim]

Chinups and pullups.

Stand on a chair to begin with to take some of your weight.

you're getting really imbalanced, there's a big asymmetry between your right and left arm, start compensating for it.

[dunkin deeznuts]

isnt that just the way he is standing or the pic is taken? if not, the imbalance is pretty crazy

[Aaron Antone]

if i wasnt just 5 months into weight training i would totally flare my Lats for Sufu...

any thoughts on casein protein vs. other types?

[bchhun]

Useful before bed as it digests slowly. Not as easy to down as whey though.

[fix.]

it tastes pretty shitty. For me, it's whey right after workout and casein in the morn and before bed.

I think du's asymmetry is not in his arms. He needs to do some squats and deads.

bchhen had it right, long acting protein which is great for eating before bed, shit is a bitch to mix though and doesn't taste that great

Isolate absorbs the fastest, followed by concentrate/isolate blends, then hydrolized whey, and then the long acting caesin ect

All the fast acting proteins are best for immediately after workouts, long acting for during sleep. Price is the most expensive for the isolate, as its like over %90 pure protein per serving

Personally, I prefer the isolate/concentrate blend as a good cost vs quality choice

[halberdklown]

anyone have a preference for or against weighted dips for chest vs. decline bench press?

[FADEtoDARKNESS]

If you're focusing on lower chest...I'd say go for Gironda dips....

-F2D

[mjbrady]

Can't say I know the science behind it, but apparently dips are a superior exercise, since the range of motion on decline bench is lower. Supplementing a normal chest routine with dips should help develop the lower and outer portions of the pecs.

^i must be doing them wrong then because whenever i do them focusing on the chest, i noticed they seemed to work that "inner/inbetween" region a lot more...damn

Dip with a slight tilt, and squeeze when you hit the peak of your dip. Personally I dont focus on my lower chest as a separate entity. If you lift heavy with your compound movements, your lower chest should be filling in without the need for decline

Mind you some peoples lower chests just wont grow ( genetics) but thats the only reason I see for doing decline every time you do chest IMO

Well at a certain point if you feel it working for you then just keep on going with it.

Cardio wont do shit for you if your diet isn't on point

What are you eating like right now?

[cure]

help me eat better to lose fat.

what my diet consists of:

ling ling chicken and lettuce gyoza/pot stickers

steak - usually a ribe eye accompanied by some small red potatoes chopped up

chicken thighs - miso-ginger-soy sauce marinated. usually with a little bit of rice

i usually try to get some shiitake and portabello mushrooms.

sandwiches - usually a mix of sliced turkey, proscuitto ham slices, salami, a lil mayo and dijon with some mozarella cheese

i also drink a shit ton of coffee, though i dont think this is bad since i drink it black.

[youkinorn2]

where are the vegetables?

[cure]

i usually have some vegetables in place of rice/potatoes with mushrooms. trying to find better ways to incorporate them. so lazy to walk to the grocery though and trying to keep them fresh. I might just start buying the microwavable freezer kind

I dont feel much different with jack3d compared to other pre workout supplements. first time using one??

[fang]

yep. what to try next?

Premax is really good, a little expensive though. I never really got into pre-wo supplements though, they're usually just some b vitamins and a "proprietary blend". I'd rather just have a good meal.

Eat 5 or 6 meals 2-3 hours apart, find out your nutritional needs, and do some cardio. Personally I'd suggest reading about nutrition, it can really give you more freedom while eating. If you don't you'll just end up eating the same stuff all the time and probably get burnt out.

[CUTUP]

Alot of those supplements are complete bullshit,or they have huge amounts of sugar/caffeine/guranna and have a huge comedown. The so called " propritary blend" is usually creatine monohydrate, b vitamin complex, and some quick acting carbs

I agree with Billy, eat a good meal. And if you need a pre workout supplement, the only one that has worked for me to the point I feel its worth the cost is kre-alkalyn creatine
