A warning about making the vegan chocolate tart (metric users)

If you follow the recipe to a T weighing everything out you'll notice your tart crust will be entirely too fatty and you will never be able to make it crumble. The ingridients in the description call for way too much coconut oil (weighed out). I managed to work around this by keeping everything the same and only adding around a third of the coconut oil (about 40g) and then the crust looked exactly like his did in the video.

Note: I'm not stupid, this isn't my first time messing with pastries and my scales are calibrated.

How to emphasize chest growth when it's the only muscle I feel like is lagging behind?

First of all before we even get to the topic at hand - IS my chest small? I feel like it is. I've been working out consistently for about 2 years (but taken it super duper seriously the past 12 months)

Couldn't be arsed with reuploading my progress pics, obviously skinnier me is how I look like right now.

I'm nearing the end of my cut to 10% BF before I clean bulk and before or maybe even now I'd like to know how to grow out my chest? I'm completely fine with literally every other part of my body except my chest - IMO it looks small.

I follow Jeff Nippards fundementals full body training program. Just a side note it does say fundementals but from other people's reviews of this workout it's pretty spot on for intermediate lifters like me.

I've read that you should "target focus" a muscle that is your #1 priority to grow, how exactly should I do that? Should I even attempt to do that during my cut as being anabolic is kind of a moot point in a calorie defeciet...

[Acne] Getting frustrated with PIH/PIE

Every once in a while I'll get a pimple that comes out of nowhere despite me having fairly normal skin, that pimple then turns into a mess that leaves a mark on my face. Usually it gets dark and turns into PIH like as seen on my cheek but I have an annoying ass acne scar right on the far end of my bottom lip that stays beet red.

I've been reading about how to hasten up and lighten up said area online for the past two weeks and the amount of conflicting information is extremely confusing. Some users mention using azelaic acid and claim it is the best thing at treating PIH/PIE, others say it does jack shit and it's best used as a preventive measure and to shrink existing pimples. Others claim Vitamin C is actually the holy grail against this type of stuff as it's the best active in terms of signaling skin and cell turnover while others say it doesn't do anything for PIH/PIE and is only best uses for evening out skin tones, other suggestions I've heard are also to use Retinol, which I do use as part of my routine.

The derms in my country suck ass. The latest one I visited told me skincare routines and products are all a big scam and that nothing works after I asked for a prescription of tretinoin. He gave me a script for low dose Accutane... I told him no thanks, I like to have my liver intact and don't plan on killing myself due to depression caused by a medication usually given to severe cases of acne.

Before I shell out even more money on products that won't help I truly need a consensus - what is the most effective way to treat these two issues? It's literally the only problem I have right now, otherwise my skin is perfect.

If you're suggesting products please try to suggest stuff that I can buy online (and not US companies like Paula's choice for example) as I live in the middle east, I usually get my stuff from yesstyle.

Current routine -

AM-

Wash face with water

Cos de Baha 10% Azelaic acid serum (picked up the 20% facial cream which I'll start using soon)

Isntree facial moisturizer

APLB Glutathione Niacinamide sunscreen

PM-

CeraVe SA cleanser

CeraVe Retinol Serum (once every 2 days)

CosDeBaha 10% Azelaic Acid spot treatment

Isntree facial moisturizer.

You're a cook at an intense fine dining place and your entire roster is doing a double shift. What baked good/dessert/food item would make your day more tolerable?

Not a cook but am a server at a respectable fine dining restaurant. I just looked at our weeks roster and saw that the entire kitchen staff is doing a double (open and closing) tomorrow on Monday. I can cook and bake practically anything and I'm looking to get some suggestions from ya'll.

Yes, everyone gets fed (giant family meal at noon and after closing) but I'm looking to bring something that would be comforting, delicious and can be easily shared.

You can save suggestions for alcohol or pre rolled joints because 90% of our cooks are straight edge (extremely surprising, I know)

Life pro tip - do not inject your dose a day before visiting your Grandma

Mawmaw made me a shit load of supreme ahh food but I can barely eat all the various stuff she puts out on the table and got offended that I couldn't finish it all like previous times. I'm sorry Mawmaw but these abs won't show unless I restrain myself from eating 2000kcal in one sitting. Still love you tho 😭
