XClassic10- Journey to a Pro Card

[XClassic10]

strong incline bro. Do you go bar to chest on that move? I find with my long arms it puts unnecessary strain on my shoulders so I stop a couple inches above.

thanks man. yeah i always go down to my chest, on working sets at least. sometimes on burnout sets that i'll do at the end of an incline session i'll stop a couple inches above just to push up some extra reps.

lol same. it sucks when you're by yourself doing that.


i guess i just realized i haven't updated on leg day in awhile haha, but i have been doing squats for about a month now, and i was doing front squats for like a month before that. i haven't gone too heavy yet, just been repping out 275 for my heaviest sets.

[Mickles]

your arms and lats are ridiculous

[XClassic10]

was bored so i just took this lol. i feel like hitting chest twice a week has helped it fill out a bit, i was feeling real flat and small at the end of my cut.

[XClassic10]

your arms and lats are ridiculous

thanks man. ridiculous is what i'm going for haha

[mattwhey]

lol thanks dude. i started benching long before i was on an actual split so my chest has always been a strong point for me, that combined with decent genetics for it i guess. always starting out with incline has given it better shape i feel.

did some hamstrings/calves today. hopefully hitting legs multiples times a week will pay off
