im sure this doesn`t read very comfortably but is the here explained theory any good?
Reinier says:
i dont understand. in the past week my weight has remained the same my dip got stronger and my bench got weaker
Cacky says:
how long you been benching?
Reinier says:
way too long for my ridilous poundage
Reinier says:
like since last august
Cacky says:
maybe you should switch to something else then
Cacky says:
like declines
Cacky says:
or just drop them
Reinier says:
?
Reinier says:
i thought you should like never drop one of the 3 main lifts
Reinier says:
do you think i will gain strength that way?
Cacky says:
why not?
Cacky says:
yes
Cacky says:
use logic foo
Cacky says:
bench VS decline bench
Reinier says:
what about it
Cacky says:
why would you *need* to do bench?
Cacky says:
don't just listen to people
Cacky says:
form your own opinions
Reinier says:
so you think i should try to change my bench with a decline. ill try that
Cacky says:
or a DB bench
Cacky says:
just switch presses
Reinier says:
flat db bench, i started to bb cuz i got stuck on the dbs
Cacky says:
yeah, so go back to db's
Reinier says:
i didn`t really go up on the bb either tho
Cacky says:
and see if they priogress again
Reinier says:
ok ill try
Cacky says:
ifn they don't, you need to make a different change
Cacky says:
what rep range do you use?
Reinier says:
6-8
Cacky says:
mauybe for chest, try higher reps
Cacky says:
do 2 sets of 6-8, 1 for 20
Reinier says:
y?
Cacky says:
6-8 trains actual muscle
Cacky says:
20 would train the energy supplying tissue
Cacky says:
after a a while of low reps, your actin/myosin outgrows your mitochondria
Reinier says:

Cacky says:
in other words, you muscle outgrows it's fuel
Reinier says:
oic
Cacky says:
then you have to train the fuel supply
Reinier says:
how come i never heard that theory before
Reinier says:
was there ever a thread on this
Cacky says:
probably
Cacky says:
it's not a thoery
Cacky says:
just physiology
Reinier says:
how come noone ever told me this it makes a shitload of sense
superCack16 says:
lol
superCack16 says:
cuz you gotta find stuff out yourself
Reinier says:
anyway ill try that
Reinier says:
so.... ill pick up the dbs and do the third set up to 20
Reinier says:
see what happens
superCack16 says:
ya
Reinier says:
if this works im going to apply it to other exercises as well
superCack16 says:
yeah you should
superCack16 says:
it will work
superCack16 says:
unless that isn't the problem
superCack16 says:
but it seems like it is to me
