A couple days off, well worth it
Well, I took a couple days off and I think it was well worth it. My local store got in some NO-Xplode so I bought some and used1 scoop this morning before my workout. I like what it did for me. First of all, it woke me up and got me fired up to work out. Secondly, my workout pumped me up very good, even in my chest where it’s hard for me to get a good pump. Third, I felt like I had more strength during my workout.
I started with Chest. I did two light warmup sets of machine bench presses. Then I did 4 sets of heavy weights. Following that, I did decline DB Presses and I really surprised myslef with the weight I was able to do. I started with 30lbs. on each arm and ended up doing 12 reps. Ok, I’ll call it a warm up set. Next I did 40lbs. for 10, then 45 for 8. I did one last heavy set with 45 and failed at 7. I never thought I would be able to do those with 45, but I had the strength today. Then I did flat bench flyes, 4 sets. I finished my chest off with 3 sets of cable crossovers.
For my triceps, I started off with a good set of dips and then moved to the rope pull down extensions. I did 4 sets of those, then I did 3 sets of standing overhead DB tricep extensions. I finished tri’s off with 3 sets of underhand grip cable pull down extensions. I was quite pumped. I finished off my workout with 2 sets of machine weighted crunches and leg/knee lifts using a medicine ball between my knees.
I’m going to try to get some updated progress pictures tonight. I have a meeting tomorrow all morning so I don’t know if I’ll be able to work out in the morning of not. We’ll see how I’m feeling in the morning and if I feel good, I’ll hit a back and bi’s workout in the morning.
