    I'll try it tomorrow. Looks good. That's close to what I've been doing, but with more failure and supersets. I usually do:

    flat bench: 4 sets of 10, 225 and go down from there
    incline: 4 sets of 10, 185 and go down if needed
    decline: 4 sets of 10, 265 and go down if needed
    flys or pec dec: 4 sets of 10 various weights

    I'm happy with my upper and mid chest, but my lower chest is definitely lagging, probably due to me doing decline last every week for so long, so I'm always tired by then.

    Have you tried changing the angle of where the bar hits your chest?

    Squeeze your abs and butt on the drop... When I want to target my lower chest I will hit chest right by my nipple and on the press I will try to pull the bar apart with my hands while going up

    I'll try it. Like I said, I'm content with the growth of everything, except my lower chest. I'm especially happy with shoulders, back, and tri's. I could stand for some growth in my bi's (can't we all) and legs. But the only thing that's lacking is my lower chest. I'll try all the lower chest stuff tomorrow

    Don't be afraid of heavy ass weights on lower chest...you can lift more. So...superset that shit with push ups.

    I've maxed out on decline and know I can do at least 300. Tomorrow, I'm gonna start with decline, rather than flat so that I'm at 100% on it

    Take 70% of that max and do 6 reps 10 sets, 90 second rest. Go through your chest day and then end with decline cable flyes, 7 sets 12 reps 30 second rest. Ensure the weight goes up faster than it comes down.

    Too much bro sci

    Here's the thing-
    If u want change u need to find out what u need to change, right?
    How do u know where to change if you aren't being consistent? So u aren't tracking ur macros, how do u know where to start? Maybe you respond better to higher carb mod fat mod pro...maybe lower fat high pro, mod carb? So, if I stalled out and I was lean gaining, I could increase maybe 15g carb a day and some fats and see if that helps....if I pack too much unnecessary bf on, I could lower one and bump another to see if that works...make sense?

    What the fuck you talking bro science? Bro science is the 6 meals a day shit. There's no science behind that, just way too much damn food in yo stomach all the time for you to even have enough energy to do anything because its all spent digesting shit.

    15g of carbs? That's like...1% of my daily required intake...why not up your carbs by like 25% if you wanna see gains.

    Sean and I never agree on diet just FYI to y'all. Sean competes, I live dangerously and I lift, we all know Sean does cross fit and has a paleo diet.

    My arms aren't used to being rocked every day. I'm on day 3, and already had to lower my weight on some tricep pulldowns. I'm doing a 3 exercise circuit after my workout (4 sets of 8-10 reps), and I realized there's only so many different Bicep exercises you can do. Haha. My arms are SORE.

    The 15g was an example....lol.

    -just eat till u gain..well- how would u know where to start? Then what sources? What about health? Think it's healthy for he body to go through that?
    Training the same body part daily will NOT (mark my words) help anyone...no way can a non enhanced athlete recover quickly enough...if you're training as hard as u say then you won't recover for the next day..just ain't happenin mane....you'll overtax the shit out of ur CNS

    And yes...Aaron and I always agree to disagree on diets lol...
