TPower81’s BodyBlog

Each time I load up on food over the weekend my body rewards me with stellar performance in the gym the next day.

 Today I put up 245lbs on the bench, 3 sets 6/6/5.  Next week I will be breaking 250 for sure.  I’m excited to see that plateau pass me and I hope that in the future I will be able to put up 250 in the 8-10 rep range.  The goal for my next upper body workout will be to put up 100lbs incline dumbells.  I’ve been in the 90-95 range for a few weeks now and I’d really like the satisfaction of 100lbs in each hand.  It is almost making me want to eat a crap load of carbs over the next 2 days to make sure I’m ready to go, but I think I’ll just stick to carbs only after my workouts and maybe do a carb-up mid week.

I was really weak doing bent over rows so I decided to throw in two sets of chin-ups at the end of my workout.  I was able to do BW+37.5!  Improvement there.  I think on thursday, I am going to try and do my sets at +40lbs.  My goal is to be able to get up to bw+90 or 100 depending on what my bodyweight is at.  

So progress…little by little.
