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 wasn’t 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 that’s for sure
Id like to think mixing it up is good
I always did the push pull legs split
Sometimes I’d do arms by itself (arms and shoulders)
Sometimessss would mix in chest with back
And just as rare sometimes I’d 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
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
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
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
Used to take animal pak multivit, but now that I look back those ridiculous amounts of vitamins where really unnecessary. Now I just stick to some zinc, mag, omega 3, vit. c, and the occasional d3+k2.
Damn, Ronnie Coleman trained like an absolute beast. The old videos of him training in his prime really gives that boost before training
