Getting stronger
Yesterday, after that looooooooong memorial day/birthday weekend, I did my chest workout as usual and i felt much much stronger from last week considering i had been feeling ill and had a headache all day. The past month or so of doing chest i had been feeling pretty weak, barely being able to put up 225 on the bench with shoulder and wrist injuries ( i think from softball) but yesterday i managed to put up the 110lb Dumbbells for 9 reps on my 3rd and final set.. ( i did 10 of 90’s, 10 of 100’s, and 9 of 110’s) a few weeks i go i was struggling to get 6 reps. for inclined DB presses as the other people i was training with were bitching about feeling a little weak, i went right ahead and went from 80 to 90 to 100’s I was also able to kick them up to my starting position myself which i had been unable to do when i joined a few months back. for bench, when i first started again in march i was struggling with bench press having been away from it for 2 years didn’t help. Yesterday, I put up 225 and 285 with ease. 315 wasn’t going to happen as my wrist was still very much sore.
Progress seems good in terms of strength! just need to cut some more.
