Your still improving nicely though even if you feel like its geting harder. One thing with DC is you cant be embarrassed to make those 2.5lb plates your bitch. Also although optimal *especially for just begining DC* to go up in weight, dont forget doin an extra rep or so is still improving. Gains looking solid though, dont let up, dont hold back, destroy that shit *the log book that is*.

haha yer those 2.5lb plates are my BITCH!! i think for a little i may just be increasing reps but that is all good because its progression but i will be busting a gut to increase the weight.


After yesterdays session iv got a good ache going on in my back, not so much my chest which is annoying. It always seems to happen when i do incline bench presses. There just isn't the same kind of ache i get after doing dumbell presses.

^^^^ I've had the same problem with chest, I just move the weight slowly down, slower than usual, and explode up. I also do a hold for my last rep when im completly burnt out. You need a spotter for this but I start at the top on my very last rep and try to cound 15-20 seconds on the downward. Most of the time it is an absolute bitch to do but do a couple of those and slower movements and you will be gold!

I like to see you are progressing also, keep up the good work.

Eat Up,
TheWall

similar things to taking raw certified honey from free ranging bee's

Ba when you say find the right type how do you identify the right type

[B A]

There are several types of regular zinc supplements available on the market but they dont all work of the one i tried Tropicana worked i have never had the chance to try out that zinc complex that everyone raves about the name escapes me at the moment ah ZMA ! thats it now i know 140mg works so thats worth a try as you now have a dose level to work on i would be interested in knowing any results you find

[B A]

i will also point out the only real way to test something realy is when your doing max singles as often you miss what gains somethings giving you as it does not relate once broken down into multiple repetitions

[YM123]

Well i am back home now from uni for the christmas break. So i have decided to end my current blast as i am not at the same gym and just cruise after christmas. Well i think that this has been a very successful blast, and i am very happy with my strength resutls. As far as weight gain, this has been minimal as my diet has been sub-par of late due to being at uni. Im not making excuses but it is hard paying for all my food so my bodyweight hasn't changed much. However, i can look at it in a good way and say i have gained a lot of strength without much weight gain which is good in my opinion. After new year i am going to really try and put on those lbs. Right below i am going to outline the gains i have made on all my exercises.
