First GVT session
Today was my first GVT session. I already changed it from what I was supposed to be doing too, heh. I started out on Decline DB presses…never done those so didn’t really know what weight to use. I ended up using 70’s and it was about the right pick. The program calls for a grip with palms facing in but doing that felt very awkward, almost like I should be doing fly’s but not. I ended up just using a normal grip this first time around. In the later 3 sets I missed the last 1 or 2 reps of the sets. I hate to not increase next workout but I’m unsure whether or not I could get 75s up that long.
I did bent over rows instead of chin-ups because I don’t think there is any way I can do 10×10 unassisted chin-ups. I started out with 185lbs but only made 5 sets of 10 at that weight. I lowered it to 155 and finished out the next 5 sets. My lower back was really on fire after doing these.
I also did a set of flys at the end of my chest sets. The time I have in the morning is just not enough to get this high of volume in. I’m thinking of splitting off back day and doing it seperate. That way i can focus on chest for one workout, back for another, legs for another, then arms day and just make it all a 4 day split. My other option would be going back in on lunch break and doing the back workout. So I’m not sure yet what I’m going to do but I just didn’t have enough time today.
Todays chest volume: 13,700lbs lifted on decline
Back volume: 17,000lbs back with bent rows.
