Been doing the same routine the last couple weeks…lots of abs stretches, bends, situps on the incline; standing, sitting, lying tricep curls, pulldowns, dumbbells, but today squatting started a routine to work up to 330 by doing 205, 8 x 2. That was simple so I added leg presses 300, 10 x 3, hamstring and toe curls, 15 x 3 till time was up. We’ll see.

After today’s cardio ride, I did 3×15, 60, shrugs, then a lot of stretching on the backward decline and straight arm situps, 5×15, before I squatted 2×5, 135, 2×5, 225, 2×3, 295. My max had been 275 but I just felt like going up to 295 today; and I did and felt high.

After a break I did front and back tricep pulldowns, benched 8×3, 100, in a new program with a goal to go up, up, and away. We’ll see. Then did tricep curls and pulldowns, 2×15, 100.

After today’s cardio ride, most of the time was spent doing incline situps, sitting ab crunches, and hanging leg pullups. Because I read an article that it helps bench press to develop triceps I did tricep dumbbell curls, barbell curls, and pulldowns. On the Smith machine I benched 2×5x135 slowly to stay in the groove, then did lat pulldowns 120 and leg curls just to end. Before I finished I benched 1×5x135, 155, 175 and felt I learned something from reading that article.

Barbell bench press 2×5, 135; 2×5, 155; backward incline, 2×10, 135; forward incline, 2×15, 125. Seated pulldowns, 2×15, 120; seat backpulls, 2×15, 120; lat machine pull 4×15, 140; leg curls, 3×15, 110; backward slant situps, 3×20; straight leg deadlifts, 2×15, 135. Stayed pretty much in my comfort zone today.
