Today: Chest.
I decided to do chest today, instead of arms or abs which is what was planned but yesterdays forced off day threw me off. I also need to note, that my diet was absolutely horrible last week. I did not stay on schedule, and when I did eat it wasn't the healthiest foods. I'm back up to 267 powo today.
Bench Press-
185x8x1
215x6x2
185x6x2
I felt very week on bench press today. I'm attributing it to bad diet, and bad form. I noticed I haven't been pulling my shoulders together, and my hands were sneaking closer and closer together. I usually like to keep a semi wide grip or my tri's and shoulders feel like they take over and dominate the lift.
Incline Bench
135x8x4. I hit it pretty wide on these and had a hell of a pump. several times I didn't think I'd be able to get the weight back up...
Decline Hammer Press
275x8, 10 seconds rest, x 4, 10 seconds rest, x3, 15 seconds rest, x 3, dropped the weight down to 225, x mpr.
...I did another chest exercise i don't know the name of but...it basically looks like cable crossovers from the low cables except with d.b.'s
4 sets of 10 with 25's
Cable crossovers, (from high setting)
40 lbs x 20
90 lbs x 5
90 lbs x 3
60 lbs x 8
60 lbs x 5
I've never done these before so i was kind of playing with the weight trying to find a good setting...
Shoulders
side db raises
40's x 4 sets of 8
front db raises
40's x 4 sets of 8
reverse fly machine
160 lbs (machine weight)
4 sets of 10.
I was thinking about breaking my splits down even more, and having a day just for chest, just for back, just for legs, just for arms, and just for shoulders and abs. if i do it it'll probably start...on thursday it'll look something like this.
