Well when you have a forum mainly populated by people who aren't exactly the sharpest tools in the box then what do you expect? Such is why bb.com has the reputation it does amongst other weight...

In b4 anti-compound crew who still think they'll get big.

Squat or deadlift.

Well at least you've experimented and know that morning workouts aren't for you. Try afternoon or evening workouts instead.

Getting up earlier and having an extra meal might help. I can't workout until I've had at least my breakfast, morning snack and lunch. I prefer to have my afternoon snack first as well.

Wow, this thread is turning into a flame fest, which I admit to being partially responsible for.

To get it back on track I'll give the OP some advice from a man far more experienced than myself....

You got that from ironaddicts.com didn't you? :D

Bill Starr's 5x5 is an intermediate routine for people that have been lifting for at least a few months and can put up some OK numbers. And of course him doing an advanced routine would hinder...

They are better than leg presses though.

This is just one of the versions of 5x5. Probably the most popular. However, as previously said, 5x5 is just a training method. It...

True. But from what I've seen he'll still need to add quite a few pounds to his bench if he wants to add mass. 110lbs simply isn't enough for him to gain mass with. All this high volume stuff and...

Well that depends on the person, really. That said, bench press is definitely one of the best exercises for adding overall mass to the chest, tricpes and delts.



And you're wrong. You won't...

They continue until you're no longer a newb.

Well as I've said many times, your bench will increase a lot if you go onto a routine like Rippetoes (probably better for someone with your stats - I went on it and experienced amazing size and...

a) Push ups are not the same as a weight training exercise.

b) Working a hard labour job is not the same as doing an arm workout every day.

c) Most soldiers are not jacked.

d) Most people...

Well he will get thicker pecs by increasing the weight he benches for five reps per week. And he will not get thicker pecs if all he can bench is 110lbs for 5 reps. Remember, just because you...
