Unfortunately, they din't provide the racks, so I had to improvised and use the dips machine as my squat racks. tongue.gif
But yeah, can't really complain much when I don't have to pay a single cent for these.

Hi all, I have started lifting about 2 months ago following Stronglifts 5x5. 2 months passed I did see a little improvement. I am 26 y/o, about 67kg, 173cm.

So far so good but I did plateau at OHP at about 30kg, deloaded and picking up again..

The thing is I only have 1 hour of workout time (7-8am) as the gym near my office opens at 7am and my job starts at 8.30am. Due to the warm up sets and 3 workouts in a day, 1 hour is getting insufficient.

I now only hit the gym on Mon/Wed/Fri as per Stronglift. Is there any recommended routine that can suit my 45min-1 hour session?

Do SL faster? Rest lesser. Train the body to do that. Your body is what you train it to be.

Hi.

Body absorbs protein after workout.
True?

That's the reason why some of us aren't growing muscles particularly on the chest?
Or muscle mass were less than the fat mass.

If it's true, do guide us on what to eat.
Egg whites?

Kinda, body indeed require proteins to repair muscle micro tears, so it's kinda essential to eat not only limited to proteins but other vitamins like fruits, oats, etc.
Just remember not to overdo it.

Several reason why you're not having much muscle on chest:
1. You're not hitting hard / frequent enough
2. You're doing it wrong (Like emphasize shoulders instead of chest on bench press)
3. You're doing too much, like hitting it every single day

I think you are correct.

My shoulders and biceps/triceps grew.
But my chest...men boobs and skeleton tongue.gif

I used to do floor press (36kg barbell) but after a few months my right shoulder can't take it anymore.
So, I change to push ups only.

Still doing deadlifts with the 36kg barbell.


Does eating diy pancakes helps?

Recommend me a good brand happy.gif

Well here's a checklist when you're doing chest press, it's no different from the how-to guides in youtube:
1. Always pack your shoulder blades, that'll put less emphasize on shoulders.
2. When lowering barbell, lower down to your mid chest.
3. When raising barbell, squeeze your chest.
4. Always keep your shoulders down.

As for pancakes, you have to check the nutrition facts.

It sounds like your shoulder is doing the work instead of your chest, 36kg for chest is abit too low(I just assume because I do not know your capability)

Like Yagami said: 1. Always pack your shoulder blades, that'll put less emphasize on shoulders.
But floor press, I don't think it is dooable on floor. Probably just get a flat bench or just make one.
Look for one with proper height, 17' from ground include padding.

If it fits your macro, if it fits your lifestyle, yes, else probably no.

The pec is a large muscle, it takes some times for it to grow and become noticable especially when you started off as a flat chest-er.

Nice.

I am still clueless how to bench of push ups the correct way.

I mean to focus on the chest and not the shoulder/deltoids etc.

No replacement for displacement applies to bodybuilding or powerlifting too

If you want big chest, you got to bench big numbers

I'm not saying machine ain't good for isolation, but overall compound movements (squat bench deadlift) are the goat mass builder
