Mettermrck Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 You're still on track, KO. Thumbs up. General weightlifting question. Do I need to ever consider doing bench presses? I do the chest press machine at the gym and pushups at home. I'm not looking to be a massive lifter dude, just some nice muscle development as I lose weight? Is what I'm doing enough? Figured you might know based on your journal. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Figured you might know based on your journal. ?Well, I'm no expert(intermediate) but I'll try to help you out. bench press will definitely improve your chest development. Compounds(bench/push-up)+isolation(chest press)will give you decent muscle development. And as for the rep ranges and sets, it depends on your goals. 6-10 for compounds 8-12 for isolation work for muscle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mettermrck Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 I struggle with relapsing with pmo while still holding on with video games. They influence each other, but a relapse doesn't necessarily mean you're not serious about quitting. Just keep learning from it and pushing ahead.

KO Posted July 31, 2017 Author Share Posted July 31, 2017 ??? what? Is it because this site reminds you of accountability?Not this website. I'm referring to Reddit, that place is a waste dump with every jerk you've ever met and their grandmas. Now what is your charisma stat? Does that reflect your socialization? I notice it's a D and was curious about it.Yes it reflects on my social skills, I'd say they are poor right now. Whenever I go out, I try to greet people or start conversations. The conversations are either normal or awkward and die off after a few exchanges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
