I meant it more like doing flyes as your only exercise for chest versus only doing bench for chest.

We did do that for OVT though, I think it even brought me from an A cup to a B cup

It's probably alot higher than that. No offense to anyone, but you can't tell shit about a program unless you give the frequency, exercises, and sets/reps. I don't know why people would think that just reps, or just sets, or just split are enough to tell what the routine looks like.

If you look at Bill Starr's 5x5, there is bench on 2 days...but one is a 5x5 and the other is a 1x5...BIG difference. And if you just post "Bench 225lbs", it could be for a 1x5, 3x5, 1RM, 3RM, 5x5...so you can see why its becoming my pet peeve lately


Unfortunately Anuj (aka Sentinel) and I do go way back. j/k bro

i do mix up proteins with tuna and salmon

(on days i workout i also have a protein shake afterwards)

i have seen great gains in strength but muscle gains have slowed recently. I also work out at night about an hour before i go to sleep if that matters. any help would be appreciated.

p.s. - i have lost fat with this diet i used to weigh 210 pounds without any muscle

I would change your diet. I would say eating this way your not going to put on to much muscle. Your starving yourself.

try eating like this.

3900 calories
1950 calories protein/fat
1950 calories carbs

4 oz cereal: Oatmeal, Shredded Wheat or Cream of Wheat 400
1 cup skim milk 90
6 egg whites or 1 scoop Whey Powder 102

Shake: 3 scoops Whey Powder 351
Banana or 2 cup strawberries or 1 1/3 cup blueberries 100
¾ cup diet yogourt 112

1 ½ cup cooked rice or 1 tortilla + ¾ cup cooked rice 327
8 oz chicken breast or 6 oz XL ground beef or 8 oz eye of round 392
or 11 oz tuna
½ cup corn or 1 cup mixed vegs or 1/3 cup corn + 4 T salsa 80

1 cup rice or 7 oz potato 218
8 oz chicken breast or 8 oz eye of round 392
8 oz carrot or 10 oz broccoli or ½ cup corn 80

1 ½ cup rice or 11 oz potato or 2 cup yam 327
8 oz chicken or 6 oz xl ground beef 392
½ cup corn or 2/3 cup peas or 10 oz green beans 80

I'm not sure how you took your squat from 135 to 190 in 3 days. I'm not saying you cant lift 190, but if you followed the program as is and used 135 as your 5RM , then it should take you 4 weeks to get back to 135 then after that point you would increase your weight by 5% - 10%. then maybe in another 4 weeks (8 total) you would be at 190.

But if you are doing 190 as your 5RM - then use this #

[unc4life]

your right i prolly was using too little weight as my max cause i never dared put more then 1 plate on at a time, today i did 2 reps of 225 just to see if i could do it but yea i am gonna use 190 as my 5 rep max
