August Most Improved Competition [ENTRY OPEN until start]

[Bio-Active]

I haven’t had doms in 2 yrs. Talk to me. What am I missing? What change do I need to make?

Are you doing any drop sets after you fail to go past and beyond?

[Capebuffalo]

Drops. Rest pause. Negatives. Yes. All HIT. Marcus style training.

[Bio-Active]

Ok I get it. How long have you been doing hit?

[Capebuffalo]

I’ll do it for 8-10 weeks until cns gets funked. Then I do lower weight higher reps for 2 weeks then back to HIT.

What are you thinking Bio?

Congrats by the way HOF.

I think you should go to the lighter weight with drop sets and supersets got 4 weeks before going back. Hit different variations on the muscle as well. Change the lifts like switch to cable press and hammer strength press for the 4 weeks when doing chest. I need to pop into the dungeon at look at your workout routine. I changed the variation of the way I hit the muscle and it sparked massive growth. I’m a small guy 5”4 and approaching 180

Thanks a lot man. Means a lot !!

Don’t go to the dungeon. I haven’t posted workouts there in yrs. I’ll post here my normal routine if you can let me know what to change.

What do you think the issue is? I’ve just become accustomed to my workouts?

Well... we need to hit the muscle from different angle and different variations. Our body’s are to smart they adapt to everything we do. You can post your training in my section if you want? Extreme lifestyle with Bio. Or even both

Are you eating enough carbs? You should still get a great pump

Can you elaborate? Just curious why you wonder about carb intake?

[Bio-Active]

Can you elaborate? Just curious why you wonder about carb intake?

Whenever I carb deplete I flatten out and the pump for me goes away

[Capebuffalo]

Example Chest

Smith incline 1 warm 2 working.
Db Incline. 2 working w/ drop
Hammer strength incline 2 working drop or rest pause
Low cable crossovers 2 working
Reverse pec dec 2 working double drop

I do more incline because my left shoulder will pop almost out of joint with flat bench.

[Capebuffalo]

Carbs are not an issue. I promise

[Bio-Active]

Here is what I did for chest today

Cable press for warm up 5 sets of 12-15 reps

Hammer strength incline press 5 sets 12 reps

Db flys 5 sets 10-12

Cable crossovers incline 5x10

20 total sets

[Bio-Active]

On that cable press is were my pump really starts when I am at the beginning of the press I take the cables back far and wide wrists facing each other I press to the inside at the peak of the contraction my wrists are about 3 inches apart. What a chest pump and it takes all the pressure away from your shoulders

My first thought is That’s a lot of volume. I’ll try anything but I’ve got 25 days left in this comp. are you confident enough to tell me higher reps more sets ? FYI. I’ll be adding slin and pick back up anadrol/dbol 100 mg Ed with the test/tren.

So a bench inside cable machine. Stir up in each hand and press.

But I’m not getting a pump. You think switch now?

Yes I do it on a free motion fitness cable machine. It makes it easier having the back rest

[Obs]

Thanks a lot man. Means a lot !!

Wow just noticed! Well deserved for sure man!

[Bio-Active]

But I’m not getting a pump. You think switch now?

How many weeks are you into your current hit training?

[Bio-Active]

Wow just noticed! Well deserved for sure man!

Thank you so much man!

[Capebuffalo]

How many weeks are you into your current hit training?

Shit. 10-12

[Bio-Active]

I’m trying to only do the true hit training Dorian gets style for 3 weeks at a time then then switch for 4-6 weeks. Going to true failure Yates style leaves you almost puking every workout and just kills my tendons

[Bio-Active]

Shit. 10-12

Oh bro you got to switch it. No wonder your not sore. It’s time to do some volume training

[Bio-Active]

What preworkout are you taking cape?

[Capebuffalo]

You are still using heavier weight for 10-15 reps then most guys in the gym man. When I do those last reps you really can’t do another and then if you have someone spotting you. Then you can still take the negs. Do you do negative reps after positive fail?

[Capebuffalo]

What preworkout are you taking cape?

Cellucor C4 Original Pre Workout Powder Energy Drink w/ Creatine, Nitric Oxide & Beta Alanine, Cherry Limeade, 30

I’ll mix egg whites pack instant grits and 5 oz yogurt smoothie pre workout meal.

I think you could modify it and do 8-10 but the volume will help you get those pumps
