Ohhh
Got it
I never done those powerlifter routines
I like intense continuous work outs lol but I can see the extravaganze being just as great for those ultimate PRs
I get watered down PRs in my old work outs, never actually would go for one rep maxes or things like that
When I said PR earlier I meant more so for the rep amount within mix of an already engaged voluminous work out
Back when I was lifting more, Iād use to do that type of training twice a week, and then 8 x 10, high volume less weight type of training twice again in the week, hitting every bodypart 4 times.
Mad results, spending 4 hours in the gym every day though (including cardio)
Wow I didnāt even know I posted it lol I was editing
Trying to piece my thoughts lol
Thatās good man
You know why itās great lol
Youāve been through the movements
Been through that trying
Against gravity
Against your body
Against weight
Against your mind
Given your heart
Your will
Your determination
Time and time again
Same old game
You got the map of success built out
You got a past timeline of efforts
You know what itās like to have an ultimate work out day lol
And you aim for that
I canāt get into bodybuilding (watching the sport I mean) again no more I donāt think
The sport doesnāt interest me no more
But I hope them success and health
And personally I can bodybuild privately, not for shows no more
Yeah, I canāt get into the sport again either. That train has passed.
Lifting though, is a fine past-time for me now, I get stronger, get to sleep better, and I get to forget to stretch.
Ah man looking back
Thatās one thing I would do differently
I wouldāve stretched a wholeeee lot more (at specific times)
Ive experienced itās benefits first hand
Itās one of the keys to success
Also helps make the myofascia expand, in a permenant way even
Allowing for greater pumps and muscle growth
Cuz the myofascia acts like a balloon within limits of expansion
You heighten that expansion
You get more pump ability
More pump = hold more nutrients
I used to do pump stretchās for my chest work outs lol (donāt over do long stretches in-between sets, lurkers and beyond)
During a certain āeraā of my life
Wanted to get it ābetterā so bad
Yeah lol. My chest is way too tight. Depression!
Underrated album for athletes
Now that I see it with more awareness on my body
I see its implications tremendously lol
Itās gains for every one
Not just athletes
It takes a while to get to optimum or closer to such an ideal depending on the person
Not an over night thing
(Could be an overnight huge leap of spiritual, health and mental progress though depending on how long itās been since last detangled deknotted and destressed)
But still a major thing
Something to root for
Would allow for such great energy flow
Things heal themselves
When you awaken those channels optimally
Hope this helps lurkers and beyond
Iām going to give all my knowledge and wisdom regarding fields Iāve acquired into one post and just post it here
Maybe that Or just do the post as originally planned (a game plan for some one with only The Negentropic Dragon NFT with ambition to improve)
Sorry for the delay Drift, I need to come correct for thisā¦ Within days I hope
And then after wards take a big break from forums
I need time for myself and partnerā¦
Back when I used to hit the gym I would do a few rounds of dead hangs and some pull ups which warmed me up well, that is if I wasnāt going to do any actual stretching prior to lifting.
Doing pull ups before chest just hit different for some reason.
Chest and back hit chest different thatās for sure
Id like to think mixing it up is good
I always did the push pull legs split
Sometimes Iād do arms by itself (arms and shoulders)
Sometimessss would mix in chest with back
And just as rare sometimes Iād do an entire chest day and back day back to back in one session lol (without the entire arms part)
Those always where devastatingly great lol took such a long time some times
Good feelings lol
Accomplished exhaustion
The after glow
The blaze in the going
Even the before, the walk to the first station where id warm up
That whole thing was epic to me
Lol I used to do that as well.
I did push/pull/legs as well. Honestly, I never liked training chest that much. For me it was really damn hard to even feel the chest muscles working, then again genetically my chest insertion is nothing to be jealous of to say the least lol
Maybe youre using more back and/or shoulders in chest
Even biceps
Pointing your thumbs up (I know, it is uncomfortable and bruises you but helps) during dumbbell presses is good to take away your forearms and much of your arms in a chest press
And the good ol pinch of the scapular blades with decompressed shoulders (back and down) is the way to go
Do you Drive up from legs?
Slow it down and just pay attention to what you feel
Hang on to the time under tension where you feel
With lighter weights
Train your mind to feel
And build mind muscle connection
Donāt matter if itās light
Just gotta do a lot of it
For sure, I am a pretty tall guy so maybe that plays a role as well. Yeah I realized the slower repetitions with a lighter weight allowed me to feel the muscle more when it came to chest, but with triceps I just liked to do fast reps and they still grew like crazy
Brb clocking out from work then heading on homeā¦
Mind-muscle connection is really important, vintage genetics mentioned it in his videos.
