It depends how much lats contribution you're getting in the dipping portion. Dips you could say are akin extremely declined bench press. | ||

I'm 145 pounds now standing at 5'7. But I have no more motivation. I feel like I have gone a long way (from ~170-173) and therefore I am a lot lazier now. I'm trying to aim at least 135, and I will be really happy.  The good thing is that my metabolism somehow got a lot faster. After I eat, I get hungry after like 40 minutes. This has never happened to me. So at least I won't gain weight in the near future...but I really want to lose more.I think I'm going to start running again. | ||

I've been buying a grilled chicken salad with mustard dressing and eating that plus the side dishes. With no rice and soup only if it's something like egg drop or cabbage/tofu. I feel like it could be healthier and more varied though if I add some different items. | ||

Close grip bench obviously uses more tris that regular. Both are very good for triceps development honestly. Dips, bench, overhead press are all good to have in a routine. | ||

The standard lay out is - white rice, thin soup (which I often find inedible due to it being seafood.) tiny portions (about 1-2 table spoons full.) of side dishes which range from squid to kimchi.

I love making it with brown rice cus it makes it healthier than it already is. Hope I helped~ | ||

That might be the problem. | ||

Hope I helped~ I still can't find brown bread in Korea ;_; I did find a whole grainy type one that I'll use to try this out. I'm thinking no-butter tuna and sweetcorn sandwiches and using tomatoes and other yummy veggies. I hate seaweed - which is annoying. | ||

On another note, my back rehab is going quite well. Deadlifts and squats (low weights) has really helped me and I hope my back is well soon so I can start training hardcore again! Eshlow, what do you think of supplementing with single amino acids and are there any ones that are "better" than others? | ||
