QUOTE(theCrab @ Oct 24 2011, 10:24 PM) people would say heavy compound do you mind, posting a video on how you do your side raises? I believe I can help you out on this. On FB if you wishi do bench press,squat,whatever compound when i started but now i realize i dont gain much from seated shoulder press,so i do different variety of raise for shoulder width and i will do widegrip upright row 1st only follow by press(due to my curve clavicles structure i have easy growing traps but hell developed delts<<) for the rest bodypart i still sitck to compound |

•Australian researchers reported in the Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research that when weight-trained subjects performed incline bench presses, the muscle activity of their upper pecs was only about 5% more than the muscle activity of their upper pecs during the flat bench press.
•Canadian scientists found that when trained lifters did the reverse-grip bench press, the muscle activity of their upper pecs was 30% greater than when they did the bench press with a standard overhand grip. http://www.simplyshredded.com/incline-vs-r...pper-chest.html intredasting..never knew there was such a thing as reverse grip bench press..gonna try it out on my next chest day |

One question to ask. Does
1) Eating a lot (heavy breakfast and lunch) + workout (evening) + light dinner 2) Eating lighter before workout and very heavy dinner after workout make a difference? |

Does i usually carb load before working out..1) Eating a lot (heavy breakfast and lunch) + workout (evening) + light dinner 2) Eating lighter before workout and very heavy dinner after workout make a difference? but heavy b4 and heavy after should be the way to go..look at how darklight eats after his workout..lol |

Reverse bench does get a good contraction in the chest, but can be taxing on the wrists and shoulders. I tried them once, and decided they definitely weren't for me.

Added on October 25, 2011, 12:43 amMy shoulders were very hard to bring up. All I did was go heavier with correct mind muscle connection and bam they popped out.
