   @BazBlog Scapula protraction isn’t required for pectoral flexion as it only activates the pectoralis minor and serratus anterior and has nothing to do with pectoralis major, as long as you mimick the action of trying to push your hands together while holding the bar the chest should activate to the full extent.

   @bicaj05 – thanks for the comment. I like to try to flex the pecs and that requires you to protact your scapula. It is not what I do for every work out but do like to do it every now and again. Thanks anyway. Baz

   @razahjaved – you need to eat right to lose fat. Training will help a bit but a combination of aerobics and food is the key. Have a look at the nutrition video on bazblog. Baz

   Good advice Baz! Learning to activate the muscle (Mind in the muscle) is very important. However try not to bring your shoulders out and protract your scapula, but besides this it’s all good.

    @2AppleCommunity – yes there is a video on upper body training while on holiday. It shows some press ups with a back pack. That is a great way to work your chest with very limited equipment. Baz

    @DinoAGrado – thanks very much. I have always believed it is not about how much you lift but more how well you lift. Thanks for the support. Baz

    thanks mate, keep the videos going, please! Just before going to sleep is the perfect time for working out for me anyway.

    @ryanclayts – that is so nice of you to make such a wonderful comment. Thanks very much. I think you can train last thing just before you go to sleep if you want to. You must work out what is the best time for you so you get the most out of it. Baz

    You’re a legend, a true helper, I’m preparing for summer, and you’ve been that perfect piece of motivation especially after a long day at school or after a big study session. What I would like to know is is there a limit of to when I shouldn’t workout before going to sleep?

    @Tautologically – that sounds fine. You can only try it for a little while and see how it goes. I prefer only 1 or 2 exercises per muscle and I do vary reps and weight. I do like 5/6 sets per muscle with a superset. Some sets will be 12 reps lighter weight going heavier to about 6 reps, then back to 12 reps with a superset. That works for me. Baz

    I actually encountered the train chest before arms problem the other day :O! If only I watched your video first!

    Also my current regime is 3 different activites per muscle group (e.g. Bicep: Bicep Curl, Hammer Curl, Supination Curl), 3 sets of 6-8 reps. Do you think this is a good way to build muscle mass?

    @palangera – A normal flat bench press is probably the best way to train your chest. You can use a barbell or a set of dumbbells they are both very good. Baz
