I have pecs that seem larger than normal...but definitely aren't man boobs lol.  check pics for an idea.  I can't seem to shape them no matter how hard i try.  I heard that genetics can cause some people to not be able to shape very well, is this true? or is there something i can do to make my pecs not so...umm...out there.



It is indeed true that some people lack the pure symmetry of asthetically godlike pectorals. The same can be said of any other major muscle group. However, you can certainly do your best to alter them. To do this, start training one major muscle group per day, however I want you to train chest TWICE per week with all other muscle groups trained only once. Focus on one day of pure strength and power, the other day pure hemovascular (breakdown/failure/drop set/etc) for chest. You will also do pushups whenever you feel like your chest is losing it's pump or is no longer sore.

Some people just need additional work in certain areas which are more stubborn.

How important are fruits in breakfast?

All I eat for breakfast sometimes is just 2 whole eggs and 2 egg whites. You think thats an ok breakfast?



Hello - no that is not sufficient for breakfast...that would only be around 180 calories and 20g protein.

I would recommend eating more. However, fruits are good no matter what. You need at least 3 servings of fruit per day so long as you are not on Keto.

Hey mate, hope your well.

Quick question ive got..
lately ive been struggling too breath deep breaths especialy after my main meal of the day.
i used too suffer from asthma and i havent for many years so not sure if that cud be part of the problem but thought id mention it.

i never realy train cardio/lungs as im trying just too bulk, should i start or anything you can recommend?


There are a few things that come to mind...

1. If you suffer from asthma, you might want to see a doctor first.
2. You can try to start conditioning yourself cardiovascularly...not by running, but by taking fewer breaks between sets of strength training. Move from exercise to exercise without breaks or just with very short breaks (no more than 10-15 seconds). This will boost cardio.
3. I would also advise that you start taking bronkaid or vasopro which both can help you if you suffer from asthma related shortness of breath.

hey raynor, i was thinking of running a smolov jr routine for bench, but not sure how much weight im supposed to do.

Week 1 (SETSxREPSxWEIGHT)

Mon - 6x6x70%
Wed - 7x5x75%
Fri - 8x4x80%
Sat - 10x3x85%

Week 2

Mon - 6x6x70%+10-20 lbs (bigger increase for bigger lift like squats)
Wed - 7x5x75%+10-20 lbs
Fri - 8x4x80%+10-20 lbs
Sat - 10x3x85%+10-20 lbs

Week 3

Mon - 6x6x70%+15-25 lbs
Wed - 7x5x75%+15-25 lbs
Fri - 8x4x80%+15-25 lbs
Sat - 10x3x85%+15-25 lbs

is what the routine looks like, i get the sets/reps part but not sure how much im supposed to be doing weight wise. ive maxed out at 185 1 rep before so i assume the % is supposed to be out of that?



Yes that is correct, the % is based on your 1RM (1 rep max). So if 185 is your 1 rep max of bench, you would take 70% of that and so forth. However, to do this properly, after week 3 you will test your 1RM again and adjust accordingly.

How to lose manboobs? I work on them, but i don't see results. I do butterflys and dumbbell presses..


You must lose fat. Your body obviously is holding onto fat, which needs to be lost in order to better the appearance of your pecs.

I would recommend a cutting cycle...for more info, write back and give me your current stats (weight/height/etc)
