First day back after 3 weeks of the Flu!
As the title says… It is my first day back of lifting from a 3-week downtime of sickness and subpar health… I didn’t want to go all out on my first day and do legs(which is usually my hardest workout.) So instead, I decided to start with chest/tris/abdominals and see how things went. I just started where I left off last time I did this workout.
Chest
Flat BB Bench= 135×10, 225×10, 270×9
Inc BB Bench= 115×10, 155×10, 195×10 (didnt go down to touching chest on reps due to fact that my right shoulder was popping.)
Dec. BB Bench= 115×10, 195×10, 235×10 (not too hard)
Machine Flies= 230×10, 230×10, 230×7.5
Cable Flies= 80’s on each hand… 80×10, 80×10, 80×8
Tri’s
French Curl(or skullcrushers behind the head)= 75×10, 95×10, 105×10, 105×10
1-Arm Reverse Pushdown= *per arm 40*x10, 50*x10, 60*x10, 60*x10
Abdominals
For abs; I just did 3 sets of 15 hanging leg raises with a 10lb ball between the knees | 3 sets of decline bench crunches with 8lb ball going side to side as I did each crunch | 1 set of medicine ball balancing for 20 reps | and 2 sets of weighted crunches on machine with 90lbs for 12 reps per set.
**Overall it was a good workout for being my first day back… I’m hoping all of my other body parts stay to par with what they were doing 3 weeks ago… We’ll see how it goes as the week progresses… I’ll post up everyday
