 YouTube what's up? It's Big Titty Day. Call me Mikey Double D. I'm here with the whole crew man, vibes are loud, vibes are high, caffeinated out of my brains, and we're starting with some incline because I want to keep some strength involved that allow me to transfer over to my chest, chesticles, with my other exercises. How do you build an ace of the match head? So, building a chest, one of the bigger differences in powerlifting or strength training and bodybuilding is like the fatigue management. And daily performance. Daily performance in bodybuilding almost doesn't matter. All we got to do is get two, one reps of failure and all these exercises we're doing. So, typically you're going to handle one to two presses in a session and then maybe one or two isolations. So today I'm making my general push day. I got chest, shoulders and triceps. I'll get one to two pushes in, maybe a lateral raise and a tricep. So we start on that incline press. The other beauty about strength training or powerlifting is specific in bodybuilding is that you can choose any exercise. In bodybuilding you simply choose what works that muscle best for you, depending on your joints, your leverages, my muscle connection, whatever actually feels good and that you can push hard in to choose. So for me, incline benches always felt really good. So I do a very slight incline. I can push the load a little bit. I can really squeeze my chest. And now I'm going to go to a unilateral one. So I'll hop on either a dumbbell or a hammer strength. Raise the reps a little bit. Get to eight to ten. It really goes to failure. Maybe a fly. And it's that simple. Repeat, rinse and repeat. Two, three, four times a week depending on the body part intensity you take it to. Cake. Baby, cake. Building the chest, strength does matter, right? Because the more load we can use, the stronger you get, the more we can progressively overload, right? We want to add reps, sets or weight weekly, monthly, yearly. So strength overall will be your friend. Those go more hand in hand than people think. Strength within a machine. The difference is when people talk about being strong or not, they're typically talking about the barbell. But we want to be strong here. So I'm working my chest, being strong here, progressively adding more stimulus that I can adapt to on my chest. So I do still try to push some weights. Exercise selection matters, like we mentioned, versus powerlifting. But the other thing is the rep scheme. You can build muscle in all rep schemes. Doing sets of fifteen for purely powerlifting or strength purposes is a little bit of overkill in my opinion. I actually don't even like much stuff over seven or eight reps when we're talking about purely powerlifting. But in bodybuilding, there's different fibers react different ways and different intensities depending on the muscle, excuse me, depending on the exercise. So I will tear my whole workout. First workout, first exercise, aiming for sets of five. Now we're in the eight to ten. And then we'll do flies or shoulder press or laterals or triceps that will kick it up to maybe twelve, fifteen. Just because overloading a single joint on your tricep doing crazy heavy overhead might just cause a little bit of pain long term. Again, there's no negative to it. It can still make progress. You could do top set of five tricep extensions. But the actual application of getting the dumbbell or getting the cable behind your head just gets more complicated, right? It's sustainable. And people are loading it well. Yeah, and people are just doing it heavy. And that was, I remember when like build squats were like all rage a few years back. Save argument, right? Like honestly, if you just load an exercise really well that has similar muscular demands. That's right, it might be the next thing. Those feel great and you can load them easy. Like, are you talking about like a squat press that they have or is that 5x? I like the squat press they have. But even the chest press, right? If it feels good and you continue to load it for a long period of time and occupy it up. My friend Kyle De Leon, you might know him, he's a workout kid. He's one of the top, like one of the ones right now. He swears like machine chest presses. He's got a huge bench. Yeah, you work on your technique and everything on bench and then you go over there and just literally crush yourself. Yeah, exactly. You don't got to think. Alright, speaking of crushing ourselves. Yeah, you're picking our next one. Let's go do it. Pump feels good. Actually, my diet's been really locked in the last two days. And that feels good mentally and physically. My walks have been here and there. Because my stress is so high with work and this meat and everyone blowing me up. But in general, it just feels good to like, again, I'm not worried about the load on here. I'm just getting a pump. I know I worked hard enough today. I'm going to get a walk. I know I did my work off. I can like check it off the box easier. Where the other times in powerlifting, I'm worried about what's next. Or am I going to be recovered to lift this amount of weight? I don't care, man. Tomorrow I'm going to catch back and bicep and feel great. I'm going to hit my macros today and we're jamming. So, mentally it feels really good just to kind of move, compartmentalize. Get the job done. Trust day done, man. A little push day, first push day on the hypertrophy. This week is a little crazy, so I can't quite give the intensity of my sleep, my stress. I have nightmares all night. I never dream, but I think stress is just getting to me. So I woke up at five o'clock for no reason, kind of floated in bed until I just couldn't anymore and started working on my phone. So everything's a little off, which is why we plan this rather than my powerlifting competition. Again, obviously I'm not hopping into a bodybuilding show. Again, your goals have to be as strict as your plan has to be as strict as your goals. And so this stuff, I'll make do. We'll come back stronger than ever. Appreciate you guys so much, man. 3sb.co.
