    Thanks Kel good points. Will need to pay more attention.

    Feeling much better today. Energy is up mood is up. Looking forward to Monday. Marathon not a sprint. This is the part that separates the men from the boys.

    appreciate it guys. But im no way satisfied at all. I need a lot more upper chest. That's why my workouts are focusing on incline bench now. and Incline fly's also.

    Is that pretty much all I can do to bring it up?. Incline bb and db bench and incline fly's?

    Well..... The chest is a big muscle and supposedly you recruit your whole chest Durring every chest movement. Making it impossible to isolate.

    Then again..... I believe Dorian was big on declines for upper chest development.

    I based my chest on declines for six months and it helped me, just not a lot in the upper region Maybe instead of shoulder pressing 90 degrees I need to back it down to 75

    Drag curl you hold the barbell with your arms fully extended. Instead of keeping your elbows tight at your side and use your elbow as a pivot point to curl in an arch, you basically drag it up your thighs ,stomach and sternum to the lower chest. It is in constant contact with your front side. Your elbows will come up and back. One set you will feel it hit a part oft he bicep you have never used.

    That comment about using a broom as a demo tool finally sealed this concept lol. Great idea. Interesting movement. I can't wait to incorporate it. Thanks cape.

    Ok so are we all going through the post gear, pct mental funk? Lol. I am going into week 7, and it sounds like both of you guys are at a stage of that too.

    All part of the great circle of 'life' in our world. Work through that sh!t. Its nothing new. Use this as a chance to give your body a much needed break. Lighten the loads and frequency for a bit. IDK about you but I haven't lost any strength and I'm getting more cuts/vascularity. Just fight that urge to not train. That's my biggest problem when the coals go gray compared to how I feel mid-cycle.

    Im already planning my next cycle. Just gonna cruise and see if I can get my diet down right for the offseason and my training split perfected in the mean time until I go back on.

    K thanks. I've been off for 7 weeks more though so how much lower should I go? I didn't start training last year. I joined this forum last year.

    So I don't come off as a smart ass only, which I am anyways, I agree with you. My last cycle was overboard.

    For the old folks in this thread, including myself, I read this article today:



    "A recent study compared protein intake after a workout in young and over-40 subjects. The young men showed elevated muscle protein synthesis after they got 20 grams of protein, but the older men did not experience significant changes with that dose. When the older subjects took in 40 grams of protein postworkout, however, they matched younger men's protein synthesis.

    As you get older, your body exhibits a type of "anabolic resistance," in that it requires greater amounts of protein to produce the same increase in muscle protein. This study is similar to other studies of older people that showed better muscle-protein-synthesis response in those who got most of their protein in fewer meals rather than spaced out in multiple feedings. Again, the greater amount of protein consumed in one larger meal--compared to several smaller meals--overcame the anabolic-resistance effect.

    If you're age 40 or over, you'll need to take in larger doses of protein but in fewer meals. If that isn't convenient, consider using a combination whey -and-casein protein supplement, which provides both rapid amino acid delivery and long-acting--seven-hour--delivery of aminos via its casein content. Older bodybuilders should make sure to get at least 2.5 to five grams of leucine per protein feeding to overcome anabolic resistance and maximizing protein synthesis. Using a whey supplement will make it easy to do."



    Not sure if it's just powder propaganda, but I it might be interesting to read.

    Another way to look at it is, this article supports the "meet your macros" theory. Meal timing seems less important.

    Smart guy, if his surname is an indicator.

    Makes sense. Older people do everything less efficiently, its the bonus we get for still being around I guess.

    Chest/bis this morning. Had trouble sleeping last night and probably saw every hour.

    Need to get in the game mentally. Really want to crush this today.
