You'd weep yourself to sleep if you saw what they cost in Europe.
Edit - I was actually astonished at how US supermarkets seemed to stock a MASSIVE amount of protein bars. Entire shelves worth. You'd be lucky to see 5 varieties in the UK.

I stopped eating quest bars because pure protein bars
are cheaper and i can get my fiber elsewhere.

Sometimes we have a different way of measuring progress. Today, that measurement for me is the ordering of a new Olympic bar, which I did a few hours ago on Amazon.com.
The weight set that I bought at the beginning of the year included a bar that was only rated for 300 pounds. I told myself I wouldn't actually put 300 on it, because I didn't want to actually take it to its limit. Today, I squatted 245.
It's time for a new bar.

Funnily enough I just ordered a variety pack of them. Could end up being shit, but they get good reviews (as you said, probably paid for).

Push ups, Seated Machine Chest Press, Chest dips just to name a few.

After I get done benching, I bench.
Incline Bench, and Cable flyes for me right now.
I do Incline work on my OHP day.
My Bench workout is a top set of Pause Bench, volume touch and go Bench and at the end of that workout I do 2 sets of 20 on flyes to pump blood into the chest.

dumbbell incline and flat bench press, incline dumbbell fly, decline bench press, weighted dips, and pushups on my dedicated chest days. Along with tricep workouts to help with the bench work

I've dumped DB chest flyes. Too much risk to my dubious shoulders.
Dumbbell flyes are bad for everyone's shoulders.

I do incline bench and decline bench, every other week i will do them with dumb bells instead of barbells. I superset every bench press with cable flies.

Thanks! Was having trouble finding any good information. I'll give this a read and check out the related ones
You don't gain weight by eating before bed. You gain weight by eating in a caloric surplus
Well I've been lifting for about 2 years now and I think I've been steadily increasing. My lifts are really weird they progress at random rates. Like I was stuck at a 185 bench for months and then randomly a few weeks ago I got 210x3. And I doubt I'll ever get 600 pounds lol. I'm 5'7 and nearish 180 pounds I might get 495 one day... but that's pretty far down the line.

Ok... so it wont matter that I immediately go into 8 hrs Of sleep as long as the protein or whatever I have at bedtime falls into my calorie goals?
Its hard to shake misconceptions

Just don't read threads about food intake in the OT forum, lest you be scared of everything.
The real thing you should worry about is if eating so late might disturb your sleep. If acid reflux and other late night eating ailments aren't a problem for you, and you need more protein to hit your protein goal, then go right ahead. Otherwise, get your protein before your workout. (You don't necessarily need it right after unless you're in a fasted state. If your body already has the protein and carbs it needs, then you're good.)

Talking of the OT... has anyone dared the "tummy fat" thread?
I daren't. I'm not sure my limited patience with bullshit can handle it.

The early consensus was that you couldn't target areas of your body for fat loss (without lipo), but I didn't keep up with it after the first 20 posts, or so.

UK Gaffers will know that cheap whey is hard to come by these days.
http://www.bulkpowders.co.uk/ have an offer on at the moment if you use the voucher code PARTY you get 33% off if you spend a minimum of 10 GBP.
I've just bought 5KG, it should keep me going for a while...

I don't know how BulkPowders taste, it's my first order from them. I went for Banana Fudge.
Before I've been buying whatever whey was on offer at Amazon. Which was usually 1kg of Banofee MyProtein or Cherry Bakewell Musclefood and then mixing it with full fat Greek yoghurt. That way it's more like a dessert. For me it's less of a chore to eat that way rather than mixing it with water and drinking it.
Fingers crossed that Banana Fudge isn't terrible...

Is it normal for my left delts to have more visible striations than my right delts?
I do the same exact weight and reps for each side...

You could throw yogurt and oats in it.

Yeah, the most common of the recipes around here is basically that plus some oats. I'd personally go for whey vs eggs, but there's not really a wrong answer.

i enjoyed the eggs and vegan sausage with baby bella a little oto much.
vegan sausage has the mouth feel of hot dogs. even when you crisp it up. it uses TVP (Textured vegetable protein which is soy based)
