lol u don't deplete ur glycogen levels that much when u workout! Actually u deplete the glycogen by 20-30% at most no matter how much u workout! If u did deplete it to 20% do u think you could move at that point? LOL
@Nickp5954 depends on your goal (what kind of chest you wanna achieve, johnnie jackson or frank zane chest). i normally say once a week, but you wanna hit upper chest twice a week even if the second time is just one exercise. (like for example u can do incline bench on shoulder day since u'll be stimulating front delts as well)
Hey man I haven't been going to the gym much lately because of basketball and whenever I do my Strength in numbers and energy goes down. Any tips because playoffs are in 2 weeks and the Championship is February 15 and my team is gonna make it for sure lol. But seriously I need your help because my legs have gotten stronger conditioning wise so I can push more weight but Upper body is going down. Much appreciated as always. Thanks
@stoudemire132 i'll be honest with you bro, finish the basketball thing and then go back and let muscle memory do the work in helping you get your strength back, because it will be virtually impossible to maintain your strength gains while doing full-on basketball at the same time. i play ball too so i know, it drains your glycogen stores even though you don't notice it, and when u go to the gym u notice you cant even lift a fraction of what you used to. so dont try to do both.
@Sciii1 it depends. whats your goal (bulking or cutting). to keep it simple, here are the benefits of early gym: you burn more fat (cuz u didn't have enough meals), but you're also weaker because of the same reason. when you go to the gym later at night, you have a lot more strength because you probably ate 4 to 5 meals already (if you're conistent with your 6-7 meals per day diet) and therefore u'll be able to lift more weight, and get stronger=bigger. so it depends on ur goal.
Hmm I used to go working out 3 times a week during my strength training. Mon, Wed, Fri and I'm sure my glycogen stores would have been replenished. I was building muscle quite well. Now I'm doing Layne Norton's PHAT which includes 5 days a week gyming with strength on Mon and Tues and hypertrophy on Thurs, Fri and Sat. Would that be too much? I eat like a beast every 2 hours so I usually get about 6 meals between workouts.
@GiefGoldPlx if you "eat like beast" every 2 hours, then that's a MAJOR bonus because it counters a lot of the catabolic affects of training too much, plus it IS after all the most important aspect of bodybuilding, eating. i would say if its not broken, dont fix it. if the 5 day think is working for u and u're getting closer to your goal of either gaining or losing weight, then stick to it. but if you notice no change or negative change, make adjustments.
@LowBudgetLeanMuscle Thanks for the reply. Yeh, well I'm about 6 weeks in and should be seeing gains soon. Although as you know, noobie gains only last so long and 6 months into intense training, the gains do start to recede.
@ak47ava 4 sets of incline, if you go to failure, should not leave you enough strength to do 4 sets of flat dumbbell and 4 sets of decline bench. if you really feel like you have to do all these 3 exercises on the same day, do 2 sets of each, going to intense failure (with a spotter), and then do the dips. or, do incline dumbbell press on shoulder day. but don't do 12 sets of pressing movements all at once. somewhere in there, one exercise is not being done at full potential.
Man dude I've Ben getting good muscle gains I don't know what it is could be my workouts the stuff I drink my workout are random I go to failure on everything I do I take muscle milk & whey I go threw my old pics & be surprise only Ben work out for almost 2 months now
@Nickp5954 it happens to everyone bro. the first couple of months of weight training are when most of the results are seen, as you can see also in my transformation videos. but after that, you WILL reach a plateau if your alimentation does not improve. don't forget that with increased muscle and strength gain, you must also increase the amount of calories you intake. a lot of people forget that. so you're on a good track if u're seeing results, but maintain those results by eating.

Quick question how often should you work out the chest a week?
