Yavor,
I notice alot of times when i’m working my chest, my triceps feel more worked then my chest. Does that mean my form/ technique is off? I’m doing high reps/low weight. Trying to build mass for my chest……

Mass training is about exhausting the muscle 0- hence the small rest times and the pyramid sets. Pyramids are *really* good for exhausting the muscle.

Just do your best to rest as little as possible while changing weights, even if its more than 45s.

How are you suppose to change the weight from set to set and rest 45 seconds between that set? Doesn’t make sense…

yavor,

i’m really confused about pyramid sets? I thought when training for mass, you need to decrease the weight and increase the reps. If that’s the case then why do you change the weight from set to set in phase 1 of Visual Impact Muscle Building? I’m so confused…..

Just eat normal man. The important thing is to have energy to progress in the workouts. This comes from eating enough calories.

Shoulders it is

Bodyweight exercises build muscle. Usher did bridging and handstand pushups among other things. Handstand pushups are the best way to build the shoulders. Also for photos he goes for a photoshot diet for A FEW DAYS (no salt, drinks lots of water) to lose excess water under the skin.

Shoulders hands down. Well developed delts will make you look outstanding.

I want a physique like Usher. I’m not really sure if he’s more built(muscular) or just toned and very strong. Supposedly when they interviewed him back in the early 2000′s ,he said that he doesn’t lift weights at all,just does bodyweight exercises. It just seems hard to believe he achieved all this without weights……

I’ve decided that i want to add 10 lbs of muscle to my upper body (Visual Impact) once i get really lean. My question is in your opinion what makes a bigger impact on your physique and proportions/attractiveness ? Shoulders or Biceps? I naturally have broad shoulders so i dont know what would be best? Improve my shoulders(Natural Genetics) even more or go with my Biceps

Chest ( 5 lbs) + Shoulders( 5 lbs)
Chest( 5 lbs) + Biceps ( 5 lbs)

Your thoughts?

Yeah Mike – it’s your body after all. So your goals should come from you

But it is a good idea to reach about 2x body weight on the dead lift (this is really basic strength level).

Yavor,
Ok cool. However would be a terrible crime if i took out squats and deadlifts from my workout completely. Rusty Moore on fitnessblackbook was saying focusing on these lifts will increase the size of your lower body, i’m really content with my lower body and dont wanna add any size to it.

Mike, it’s not the rep range. It’s proportiona – small waist, developed shoulders, etc.

To pull this off lose the excess weight and focus on creating a v-taper with an emphasis on the shoulders and arms.

Do NOT focus only on the big lifts (squats and deadlifts).
