    Thanks Marcus.

    Will do that. I start with incline db presses, but since its my first chest excersize I don't go to failure. I'll change that. Then I go to incline bench and if I'm lifting alone obviously I don't want to ask someone to lift the bar off my chest.

    So I'll start incline db presses but take it failure and move to the smitch machine where I can go to failure cuz of the locks.

    Thanks

    Thanks Human Project. I'd probably be surprised to see whats underneath all this bf.

    Will keep that in mind. I have some Albut/T3 coming to help me through a plateau I'm at.

    For military do you come all the way down in front of your chin? Or do you touch upper chest (all the way down)

    Missed this post.

    Good stuff.

    My shoulder routine has been changed and is working. My back symmetry is coming together. Now I'll have to see what works for me on my chest.

    Ok, now back to Marcus' thread.

    To be honest with you when I was younger when I first started training I dreamed of being big and muscular, I destroyed many things in my younger life what were very precious to me because of my drive and determination. Nothing would stop me and over the years after so many painful times in the gym my body started to grow and before you know it your XXL. Being consistant for years builds size and its funny but I seemed build a more solid look as I got older, mature muscle lol

    You need to train to failure and beyond by imnplementing either forced reps then negs or dropsets. If your not training to and past failure your not recruiting all the muscle fibres and to get a sticking bodypart to respond you need to take it to its limit otherwise whats the point!!!

    Short cycles are great but as you progress with cycling try every other method and protocol and see how your body responds and go with whats best for you. Persoanlly short cycles are my fav

    Curious why you put rowing motion in between your pull down motions. Width thickness width.

    Marcus I have a quick question about carb cycling, would you still have a High carb day on a non training day. I'm training 5 on 2 off. Is it trial and error for the individual and if so how can you compare subtle results. Thanks

    It all depends on how you respond, my body is very sensitive to carbs so slight adjustments and I am on my way, I usually go by how I feel and look. Normally I will carbs in the first meal of the day then adjust to what I am doing but I never have zero carbs. I much prefer doing a slow carb cycling with minor adjustments this for me really saves alot of muscle tissue. I personally think to many people run to much of a extreme carb cycle or cutting diet and they see loads of tissue loss, ive done the same many yrs ago but it doesnt happen now. Every bit of tissue is very precious to me and I am not lossing it so thats why I tend to do a long drawn out carb cycle with minor adjustment, all I do is manipulate my carbs and trick my body while manitaining muscle tissue - end result is big and cut

    Marcus let's say you wanted to cut from 15 to 8-10%. And you could run test or gear at a higher dose then your hrt. What doses would you run to conserve muscle tissue

    All you need to do is make sure your in a anabolic state and if your on hrt you should be fine if your not doing anything extreme with your diet, my hrt dose holds me very well but if I was cutting from 15 to 10 I would run something around 300-400mgs per wk for 6-8 wks then come off back down to hrt dose then re -run another cycle in 6-8wks because I would do it very slowly, there is no rush cutting bf if you do you lose muscle tissue. Fair enough you may look really cut and ripped but at what cost!! every lb of tissue is precious and it takes alot of hard work to build so I much prefer doing cuts over a long period of time.

    These days I can take as long as 12 months, but when I was cycling alot more I would take around 6months. Everything was done slowly to preserve muscle tissue. When I use to run cutting cycles/diets say around 2-3 months I would sacrifice tissue and it would do my head in, losing tissue when Ive just been thought torture building it so I spoke with someone about this and we adjusted a few things and ran longer cuts while using minor adjustments and this for me made a huge difference.
