Had the pleasure of chatting with 72 KG vegan powe Had the pleasure of chatting with 72 KG vegan powerlifter Annah Jamison AKA @bananalifts about nutrition, programming for powerlifting, home workouts during lockdown, supplementation, vegan protein, advocating for social causes and much, much more! Annah is incredibly strong and built most of her strength on a plant based diet. Her best lifts in competition are 145 kg(319 lbs) squat, 85 kg(187 lbs) bench and 182.5 kg(402 lbs) deadlift at 157 lbs bodyweight.

CHEST TRAINING TIPS 🙌 ➖ 1️⃣ Compound ches CHEST TRAINING TIPS 🙌 ➖ 1️⃣ Compound chest movements should be your bread and (Earth Balance 😂) butter! Focus on proper form with bench press, incline bench, weighted push ups and/or weighted dips. Retract the scapula for bench press and push your chest up - this will not only keep your shoulders safe but engage the pecs more as well. Focus on progressive overload over time with these lifts! Getting stronger on these lifts WILL result in a bigger chest and bigger upper body in general! 🔥 2️⃣ Increase chest training weekly frequency and volume and experiment with different rep ranges! Make sure you’re training your chest at LEAST twice per week! Muscle protein synthesis from resistance training stays elevated for 24-72 hours post workout which means you are not maximizing that muscles growth potential if you are not training it at least twice per week! Add more weekly training volume by adding sets over time for stubborn body parts to help overcome plateaus as well! Sets should consist of 5 reps or above for compound movements to maximize hypertrophy - I would recommend a lower rep (5-8) and higher rep day (8-12) for compound movements. 👌 3️⃣ Include isolation exercise after the main compound lifts for more experienced lifters. Newer lifters shouldn’t worry about this - just focus on bringing up the compound lifts. However, if your pecs are very stubborn, adding an isolation movement may help with targeting the muscle more and increasing muscle activation via the “mind-muscle connection”, which actually isn’t just bro science! Try machine, cable or dumbbell pec flies (some research shows the weighted stretch from these movements may also be beneficial!) Isolation movements should be trained in the 8-20 rep range!
