They will, but you could also include some planking.

Saw a post on fb saying 9% of male competitive bodybuilders have an eating disorder and its about 20 % for the women :wtf:

Moral of the story, if u have any kind of eating disorder history don't compete as you are asking for trouble.

Bit of a random question there? I'm currently injured with a shoulder impingement and even before I got injured I was hardly doing dumbbell press. It was a dumbbell press that injured me though. I was doing 20kg dumbbells for 5 reps at the time of my injury, bodyweight of 62kg. My bench press never got greater than 60kg (for reps) that I can recall maybe two years back with a spotter. Without a spotter I've never tried more than 50kg for reps. The past year or so I've not been going to gym enough to really get back to increasing strength.

Eating disorder like bulimia? Scary!

Because my wife currently thinks I have some sort of eating disorder while I am cutting.

But to be honest, I am just very strict and disciplined about how much I eat. So sometimes I will skip 2 meals during the day and just have a large dinner after working out. Or I will have small to moderate breakfast and lunch and skip dinner.

Basically I just eat when I am hungry. And the fat is dropping like flies.

I do still have pasta, rice and the occasional sandwich but absolutely zero sugar.

It does of course help that I got my hands on a very decent ECA stack (the real thing) which helps a lot to suppress appetite.

Edit: my bad, was probably a comment that mentioned the percentages of men and women with eating disorders :o

I am now in week 5 of the Chris Gethin workout. I've seen some real good progress. He does it all - supersets, giant sets, German Volume Training, Pyramids - everything.

Did chest today - incline press 30 reps,25,20,15,10,5 superset with flies (same rep range). Then flat bench 5,10,15,20,25,30 etc. etc. Insane! My legs are still in pain from Tuesday's workout.

How is it possible that I struggle to lift more then 12Kg dumbells per arm and weigh 71kg? and you weigh 62kg and can lift 20kg per arm?
 
15kg isn't too bad for your weight. Is that for pressing though? Push exercises should be higher than pull exercises.
