Chest/Tri..
incline db press 5 sets…15, 12, 2×10, 8
dips (assisted)-3 sets 10-15
incline chest flyes 3 x15 superset w/ bodyweight dips using bench to failure
flat bench w db 3×15
lying db tri extension 3×15
flat chest flyes 3×15
triple set w/ rope pushdowns, decline pushups (to failure–not many reps…arms were pooped at this point), cable chest flyes
Decided to skip the bench pressing today, I have been consistently doing it for some time now..
ALso I have changed my rep range…last week actually is when I started doing it, instead of doing 6-8, I have started doing 12-15 reps…I already felt the effect of the "shock to the system" in my back after one workout–I was sore like when I first started a year ago!!!

Sounds like a great workout! I suck at decline pushups- my back always hurts..hmmmnn maybe I’m doing something wrong

I just used the lat pulldown bench to put my feel on so not a real big decline..I could only do about 8, then 6, then 4…then almost fell on my face the third set because my arms wanted to give out…my knee saved me from having that happen!

Ooh- now THAT would have been something to blog about LOL. I’m glad you didn’t fall on your face though
Can you do under the wire push-ups? Now those are hard!

Nice work. I like the way you changed directions in the rep range for the shock value, and those tri sets are killer…in agood way.

Great workout! I love doing decline push-ups.
I usually do them at home so that when I fall on my face my children are the only ones who see it and laugh.

Led: thanks…yes the different rep range is def doing something…wish I would have changed it sooner!
fitclub: there weren’t that many people in the gym so I wouldn’t have been too embarrassed if my arms actually gave out!
