Hows the cycle going mate?

Going good brother. Strength steadily going up feel like I'm getting bigger but adding zero fat. It's awesome. Definitely getting more aggressive which I don't really like because I'm already a aggressive person but I deal with it

4 weeks in and the weight is up 10 lbs. Not much bloat if any. Don't feel like I have added alot of water weight. Sex drive is through the roof

Nice bro. Hows the chest coming?

Nice bro. Hows the chest coming?

Not as well as I'd like. I can't seem to get a really good pump on my chest like I can the rest of my body. Strength has gone up added about 8 reps to my max on dumbells but I can't seem to get the monster pump. Here's a pic tell me what you think bro

One of the reasons many lag on chest is they have a hard time dialing in on the mind/muscle connection in a compound movement, which is what most chest exercises are. Try this: at the start of your next chest workout, after warming up go to a pec deck machine. Pick a weight about 2/3 what you would usually do and then make sure your form is perfect - arms straight, hands open, range set so you can go nice and far back, posture nice and tall and head back so you aren't leaning into it and bringing shoulders into play. Close your eyes and on each and every rep focus on feeling your chest muscles tighten up and squeeze as you bring the weight in. Each and every negative focus on feeling the stretch across your chest as your arms move further and further back. You shouldn't be feeling/thinking about anything other than that sensation in your chest.

Now when you move to your normal chest exercises, close your eyes and start trying to make that same connection. Feel your chest contracting/squeezing with each and every rep and then opening back up during the negative.

Making that mind/muscle connection is hard to do with chest - arguably harder than any other muscle group - but learning to do so will make a MASSIVE difference.

Its not too bad based on your pic bro. I'd hit the incline more than flat though. Your upper chest needs the most work based on that pic.

I have this problem with lats. I can get a good mind/muscle connection, feel the squeeze ect... but the overall pump is very difficult for me to get in my back.
Chest is actually the easiest for me.
