You never know how things work for you unless to try it everyone responds differently to the same exercises. I've never liked benching much I think it's a very awkward movement and I've never been comfortable with it. I like inclines alot more and you know most guys love benching but I just go by me. And you also supposed to be stronger with benching but since I'm more comfortable with incline I actually push more weight on incline also. So my point is to give everything a try and see how it works for you.

I'm very honest which alot of people don't like haha. I think everyone should do what works for them and not worry about what everyone else is doing. I see dudes working chest and arms everyday and they wonder why nothing is happening. It never occurs to them to train them less and see what happens then.

Lol yep I mean it is good to learn from and watch others. But not from people that you know go to the gym alot and still don't progress. Then you know they are most likely doing something wrong.my progression has been alot slower after those first 2-3 yrs I've lost alot of muscle but I think a big part of that is I've always had low T levels so its hard to put muscle on without the proper amount of testosterone but I like having to work hard for something because I feel much more rewarded when I finally get what I want

Yea I've gotten them checked last yr and they are low my most recent tests should be ready this week. Doctors won't prescribe anything unless your near death my levels are in the 400's and she insists that normal because its in the normal range but depending on which lab your using it goes as high as 1200 so 400 is pretty low and she insists its not. So I have used test boosters and I think that helps a little. Nothing is more rewarding than seeing your long awaited gains payoff!

Well hey if that works for them I'm not gonna bother talking to them about it. For me I think that's pretty silly and a very quick way of lifting a lot heavier then you should which means your more likely to get injured. And everybody regrets doing what they did once that happens. I only compete with myself as sum bodybuilders say and my younger self kicked ass lol I'm 29 so I know I'm not old but man when I was 22-23 everything felt light to me I miss that haha

Yeah when i just started lifting (im still new to it now even) the first thing i did was mess my back up with deadlifts. Even now i find myself trying to compete with the other people around me; i have to remind myself not to. They have a reason, though; they compete against other schools. But your right about them increasing too quickly.

Yep injury for a few seconds of looking good isn't worth it. I'm sure by next yr you will see alot of gains (I know that you don't want to wait that long). Again, generally speaking most people see pretty big gains within the first two years or so then after that the gains are usually not as rapid. This game is a huge marathon!

Not going to quote everything, but I will say the following:
Dorian Yates is arguably one of the best BBers of all time. He didn't hardly ever do any form of flat bench, and say decline builds a big chest. I worked up to 345x6 on his 6 week trainer, and I would have to say that IMO, I felt it all over the pec. Everyone says "Oh this works upper pec, that works lower pec." If you look at anatomy, the pec is one solid slab of muscle. There isn't seperate muscles to grow. Some just have better genes than others. Just my opinion. That said, I'm doing flat bench right now just to change things up for a while and I definitely still like decline better.
As for motivation, I think it really comes down to how bad you want it. If you want to look a certain way, find someone who looks that way, whether it's a celebrity, a physique competitor, or Phil Heath, and picture that in your mind during your workouts. I like watching training videos of guys like Arnold (Pumping Iron, Raw Iron), Phil, and Jay Cutler when I do cardio before workouts to get my mind in that place. Watch some of Kai's videos on youtube, you will learn a lot, and hearing how he puts things will help get your fire going.
Haven't looked before this page, but I will check them out and voice my opinions if I see fit lol~Murray State Crew~

Yeah I like the fact that he doesn't lie about the stuff they took either. Unlike most bb'ers, he's pretty straightforward about everything.
Check out Muscular Development, he writes a good article for them monthly. All around good dude. Just watched a 2 hour interview with him the other day, I'll try to find the link...~Murray State Crew~

Oh I know I have a ton of MD mags in my bathroom (TMI WHOOPS lol). Yea and I appreciate honesty especially since I'm an extremely honest person even times when I probably shouldn't be. I love Kai Greene also but sometimes he just talks too much I crack up watching Bob Chic fall asleep and him thinking okay Kai can you answer the question now please? Dorian Yates seminars are freakin awesome without a doubt!
