Little update from Yesterday

Well I missed my workout last night!....my first day off in 3 weeks and my body couldn’t take it. I was feeling like crap literally. Once I get back from work I took a little nap in a desperate attempt to recover for a leg workout but when my wife wake me up 30 minutes later I couldn’t open my eyes…I felt no strength or will power in my body. I felt that I did not have control over my body “what a horrible feeling” ….anyway after 5 minutes I tried to get dressed but I was feeling so bad that I go dizzy. My wife was freaking out LOL!...so I decided to stay at home! After that a terrible hunger started to hit me….i don’t know what was wrong but at one point I was about to throw the towel and eat whatever I can to get me full!.....Anyway today is legs! I will try to do my best

Later guys

^ Reps for keeping it together and not indulging. You hang in there Francisco, eyes on the prize bro

[projecthatch92]

always gotta listen to your body, it's good that you stayed home.

i noticed during your chest workout last week you were doing floor presses, what do you feel the biggest difference is between floor presses and normal flat bench?

way to keep it together, good call on staying home, as much as it sucks missing a day, you could have missed tons more if you pushed yourself over the tip of the cliff.\

good luck!

Its a complete different animal! with floor presses the contraction of the chest muscle is increased because you take out of the formula the strech reflex of the tendon.....but in order to do that correctly you have to stop for a second and rest your elbows in the floor.

For a person just trying out floor presses, would you recommend doing it with a BB over DB's?

[Zack]

I use BB just cuz that's how I know how to do it and I feel like it gives you better balance at first.

Whatever feels more confortable to you!...i like DB's because they are easier to handle, work your stabilizer muscles and safer than BB's....go with DB's first...as a matter of fact i have never used BB's with this exe
