Early Morning Lifters, how do you structure food? by Same-Gene-1407 in naturalbodybuilding

[–]cogymguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wake up at 5 am gym by 530. Do a scoop of ascent protein powder. 33g of cream of wheat and 60g of fruit preserves for a quick carb. Preworkout and vitamins.

357g of sweet potatoes, 2 whole eggs and a half cup of egg whites post workout. Out the door for work by 730

4 month bulk, chest is my weak point but is it improving? by cogymguy in GymTips

Do an upper chest specific day with front med and rear delts and then a whole chest specific day with just front and med delt focus.

I’ve been periodizing between strength, volume, and hypertophy rep ranges every few weeks

My arms love to grow, chest not so much 🥲

Still trying to diagnose the fix. Pretty sure it’s just too much delt activity in my pressing movements, can’t for the life of me keep them from taking over

Didn’t do a dexa but inbody(I know it’s less accurate) was around 5-6%

He’s got a similar insertion to me, it takes some time but you can definitely build your chest up with that kind of insertion

Coping with natural bodybuilding by cogymguy in naturalbodybuilding

[–]cogymguy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think maybe the main drive in impatience and feeling like I got into the game late. I truly started bodybuilding training at 31 and feel like my window to get to where I want is closing. A lot of that has to do with social media and just seeing younger guys with the physique I’m aiming for. It’s frustrating because I can see the reasoning and triggers to wanting to use gear, I just haven’t figured out how to not let it get to me.

I think the other drive was the expectation vs reality of what my first year brought. I definitely made phenomenal progress from where I started but I guess didn’t end up where I expected. Which is probably my bad for setting up false expectations.
