Thoughts
My gym needs heavier dumbells. I remember a few years back when I thought hefting up 100lb’ers was a milestone with dumbells. I also remember the first time in high school when I pushed 225lbs on the flat bench. I felt like I was on top of the world.
Nowadays, lifting is more of an art to build my body. When I perform these movements the motion is slow and controlled. There is no locking out and the stretch is maximal to enduce as much eccentric damage to the muscle as possible. You did know that it’s this damage which is what induces growth right? Food for thought if you aren’t seeing results and like to bounce weight around.
Regardless, this training session left my chest pumped and now SORE. Typically, on these lower volume days it’s been a challenge to ellicit an ample amount of stimulation. I respond better to higher volume for this very reason. Could it be the Aplodan really kicking in at this point? Who knows for sure, but I’m very satisfied with my training at this stage and it’s evident Aplodan is an effective supplement.
