darkie,do you include cardio sessions(treadmill,bikes...etc) every once in a while to maintain bodyfat levels/leanness and up some stamina or do you achieve this through your diet mostly?

My chest progress has been pretty slow compared to my other body parts too.
I've been stuck at the same weights for about 2 months now... where else every other part shows progress.

I've tried switching routines from smith machine bench presses, to barbell bench presses. Incline, decline, flats... dumbles flys, presses.. you name it..

The usual routine i do is about 3-4 sets each exercise, gradually increasing weights with each set.

Help..

Deadlifts are definately fun to break PRs with every once in a while. I just broke my PR of 280lbs to a 300lbs lift last week

Btw darklight, I prefer dumbell presses for chest over straight barbell too, but the thing is the heaviest dumbells that the gym I go to right now have are only a pair of 35lbs. I've somewhat outgrown this weight limit, and need to go heavier.

What do you think of bench press machines? I feel this is better over the straight bar because u can really get a stretch on the chest without having most of the work done by your triceps(which mostly happens with straight bars).

its really more to priorities, goals and time management

apparently not scary enough for you to post something like this
