What do you do when you know you should work out...

but aren't up to it?

When I actually start, it's on, but I struggle with getting started sometimes. I believe it has a lot to do with my chest. I work chest regularly (IMO) and I still don't have definition, although I do have strength gains. I feel like I have bitch tits, but I heard w/ gyno your nips will become irritated. Could it be just chest fat?

It's just discouraging when you work out for 1-2 hours and don't see results (visible that is). Everything else is going in the right direction (bi's, tri's, back, shoulders,etc), it's just my fucking chest. It's really frustrating.

Anybody have a "tried and true" chest work out for something like this?

I have a home gym (a bench w/ only incline and flat, leg extension and barbells with limited weight) , so I can't always hit as much weight as I'd like to due to the fact of not having a spotter/ work out partner. I'm doing chest 2X weekly, one heavy, one light - high reps.

I'm going to be getting a membership at the UT (Hook 'Em Horns!) facilities soon, so I'll have WAY mor equipment.

I've read a lot of people use stimulants. What stimulants can I get legally that may help?

Any other ideas?

your working chest too much. Cut down the volume to 1 time a week, focus on compound lifts and eat/train hard. Stimulants? You mean Supplements? Just protein and creatine IMO, nothing else is worth the money.
 
man, if can get a bitchin power rack, bench, an olympic bar, some plates, heavy ass dumbbells, i'll be good. wonder how much those cost here.

honestly, 1 time per week and go heavy.
 
Everybody has their lagging bodyparts and chest is probably just yours. Be patient. I have a few stretches I do that helps bring out my breasts more, but I'm not sure it that's what you are looking for.
 
Just set up the foundation/basics; and save yourself for when you join a real gym. If you've got excess fat in your chest, then increase your overall workouts and/or reduce calorie intake. Also, mix it up (as you already are): super high reps one workout; and low reps, heavy weight the next.

Legal supps: caffeine (so long as you don't have a sensitive stomach), preferably in tabs; CEE; quality protein (don't overuse).

Bro, you have to understand something. NOBODY got big and ripped over night. It doesnt matter what supps you are taking, what you inject into your body or how hard you train, if you do not eat right, its all a waist of time. 1st off....how is your diet? map it out for us. Also...I feel you on how somedays you just dont want to train that body part. This is what ive come to learn thru my own experience....is that if you DO NOT feel like doing something, DONT DO IT. If its chest day and you dont feel like doing flat bench, simply dont do it. The days that I have pushed myself to do something my body and mind did not want to do, those are the days where I have torn muscles or hurt myself. Do what you feel like doing. Now, Im not talking about if your doing a set of barbell curls and you dont want to do one more then dont do it....at those times, DO ONE MORE, because those last few are the ones that count. You have to push yourself in that sense. EVERYONE struggles, cutler, coleman, dexter...we all do. Because we are human. I train at 5:30am 5 days a week, and when my alarm goes off at 4:50am, the last thing I want to do is get my ass out of bed, eat and go train. It comes from within. What it boils down too, is how bad you want it. How bad to you want to look better than anyone else in the gym, how bad do you want to be bigger and stronger than anyone else around. Its in your heart. The days you dont feel like training, grab your balls, eat some food, find something that motivates you and fucking go workout. ALso you need to understand that just because you are training your chest 2x a week, doesnt mean it will grow faster. Try training it once a week, change things up. whats your chest routine look like? are you doing the same excersises everytime you train your chest? be honest because if your not, we cant help you. over the counter supps...get yourself a multi, arginine, protein, and some form of creatine and go kill it at the gym. Bump up your intensity levels. Good luck bro

Thanks for the info everyone!

As for my diet:

For the last week it's been just ok. Prior to losing a lot of my money it was much better, though somedays I don't get in all I want.

I eat a lot of chicken, salmon, bison, lean beef, sausage (2X a month maybe), a lot of egg whites (hard-boiled), couple shakes a day and drink plenty of water.

What I like to do is make little, two bite, meatballs and put them in containers to last a while.

I use skim milk in my shakes, unless it's late at night, then I use water.

My carbs fluxuate. My girl likes to make pasta a lot, which I don't usually partake in, but will sometimes. We eat a lot of couscous and brown rice.

I usually eat a bowl of Special K and 4-6 egg whites for breakfast, then 2-3 hrs later a shake, then 2 hrs later some meatballs or chicken breast, then we have dinner (which isn't by any means fastfood, but not always clean, for example: Chicken Parm, breaded Pork Chops, etc), then I'll have a few more egg whites a couple hours later and then another slow-release shake usually 1 hr before bed.

Now this isn't an ALWAYS meal situation. Like I said, some days I get in more, others, a little less.

I hope I gave you enough info. Whatdaya think?
 
I forgot to add the veggies and fruit.

My girl LOVES to cook, and she love to cook healthy (as possible), so she'll throw in a brocolli medley or some beans (green & other) or something.

As for fruit, I don't eat much of it. If I do I'll eat an apple or a bananna.

How much veggies, and which are best, should I be eating a day. As well as fruits. Which are the best and how many a day should I have?
 
You diet looks pretty good, nice and varied. Going back to the training find out what works for you, don't just lift heavy cos someone says so....my chest for instance is stubborn as hell, I lift 3x12 reps for chest with an average weight making sure I focus all the effort on my chest muscles rather then shoulder or arms..if I lift to heavy my form goes to shit and I barely feel the muscle has been worked...but for arms I lift real heavy and only pump out 8reps. Point is one part of your body may need to be trained very different to other parts...find what works...also make sure you hit your chest from all sorts of different angles...keep it guessing and remember to focus on only the muscles u want to grow, your central nervous system needs to know whats going on so it can push the right muscle otherwise you will end up using ur rear delts to push the weight up.

In 6months u will have the chest of a champ, think positive :D
 
listen to lucky and you'll have a chest like him, listen to me and you'll have a chest like me. LMAO
 
Diet looks alright, but a lot depends on your work outs. One thing a guy I knew used to add to his diet that helped him put on weight - potatoes. He ate tons of them. Carried them in his briefcase to work (pre-baked), and ate them like apples only with salt. Personally, I don't like 'em. Taste is horrible to me. But it worked TONS for him.
 
Try hitting some cardio or try an otc fat burner such as hydroxycut or lipo 6. Watch using arginine or multi-vitamins that contain arginine when using a fat burner though. The fat burner will cause the blood vessels to contract, while the arginine will cause the blood vessels to dilate and work against the fat burner.
 
I have problems with my chest too. I can dead and squat over 400 and yet barley hit 225 on bench. I think it has alot to do with genetics. One thing thats helps me alot is after my heavy sets to bench with an eight count down and one up with light weight, for me at least. If u got a friend maybe do some negitives. Just keep at it and take pics every now and then to guage your progress that helps alot. As for the bitch tits, more cardio less food.
