March 18th. Chest.
Cardio update: 18/20.
Sooo I was feeling sick and had allergies all day, not to mention I was feeling fatigued already from my caloric deficit. Soo I had contemplated skipping the gym tonight, but decided to go anyway, since I had already done my cardio in the morning. With that said, I haven’t taken an entire day off from the gym in nearly 3 weeks, so tomorrow, Wednesday, I am planning on resting all day. No cardio, no gym, no nothing. Just sleep, eat, maybe play piano and watch some movies, but mostly just sleep all day and try to relax. I hate to break my streak of like 16 straight days of double cardio, but I don’t wanna get burned out, and this day of rest should help recharge me for the final 28 day run to my bday, and give me some needed rest before back day on Thursday and tricep day on Friday, since those are the two bodyparts that I am trying to work hardest on improving. Sooo, tomorrow should be a nice break, plus I am planning on seeing my mom, which is always good when I haven’t seen her in a few weeks.
So my workout was good despite being exhausted. I decided to only do exercises that I pretty much NEVER do for chest, so I did a machine press that I have never ever used before, incline dumbell flyes, flat bench dumbell press that I also have never ever done before, dips, and a machine fly. The flat dumbell press was interesting. I always do the incline, and I felt a little stronger on the flat, so I’m not sure if that is natural, but it was difficult getting the dumbells in place once I had gone up in weight to heavier dumbells. I was using an 80 pounder in each hand, and had trouble figuring out the best way to go from sitting up to laying down with the weights. On inclines I just kick the weights into place with my knees, but I’m not sure I could’ve done that trying to lay down….I will hafta work on that if I do the exercise again, which I probably will. Anyway, overall it was a nice change of pace, and I think that if I had tried to do my usual stuff, exhaustion would have taken over, so the change kept me going. Ok, time to watch a movie and go to bed…goodnight.
