New Routine: Day 1 (Chest, Delts and Abs)
Last night I began the new routine I mentioned in my last entry. Things went well. As I have mentioned before, I have been concentrating more on my upper chest. This created a seemingly smooth segway going from chest to shoulders. I was not able to knock down my usual poundages for behind-the-neck presses, but didn’t feel I needed to as my front delts were already screaming from the upper chest exercises. For chest I did the following exercises:
- Incline Presses
- Incline Dumbell Presses (performed heavy and wide, almost like a flye)
- Chest Machine Presses
Shoulders included the following:
- Behind-the-neck Presses
- Front Dumbell Raises
- Lateral Dumbell Raises
- Dumbell Shrugs
After that I did 30 minutes on the bike at a fairly rigorous pace for some cardio. I plan to do this a lot more often. I did work abs some, but it is sometimes difficult. After doing abs, I usually have trouble putting myself in a seated position as my abdominal muscles cramp really bad. I’m hoping this will eventually go away. I did, however, forget to weigh myself. Will do so tonight.
