MONDAY-CHEST/ABS
As I said earlier, chest days (for me) are going to be tough for a while. Of all the muscle groups that have suffered during my 5-year gym layoff, the upper body is the worst. I’m glad I was able to get in there before anyone else showed up. It was very humbling to say the least. I mean, I have eaten meals off bigger plates than I had on the bar today.
With only 4 exercises, 3 reps each, weight time went by quick today (thank God). At least I made it to the end. I warmed up with some incline sit-ups, stretching and some very light weight on the bar. Then I hit the following workout.
DB Incline Press … 10/10/5*
Cable Crossovers … 10/10/10
Incline DB Flyes … 6/8/8
BB Flat bench press … 10/10/8
Pec Deck flyes … 10/10
*Fatigue on 5th rep.
After this, I hit some cardio (treadmill for 20 mins). I also added an ab workout to the mix today. Along with doing sit-ups after every set, I also hit the ab machine (3 sets @ 40/40/20). So that gave me a total of 100 sit-ups and 100 ab crunches. Depending on how I feel in the morning, I might just throw this little nugget at the end of every workout. Gotta loose that gut.
Tomorrow I will be working the back.
