OVER 40 MUSCLE

I have decided to rearrange my workouts a little. I have noticed that in doing delts on Monday and Chest on Tuesday has really taken away from my chest workout. My delt routine is so strong that it has taken some power away from my press moves for chest. With chest being one of my weaker body parts I feel I need to get all I can from it. However, everyone at my gym does chest on Mondays so I feel I would be defeating the purpose to move chest to that day (seeing as how I would have to wait in line to do what I need to do). So, for the next couple of weeks I am going to do back on Mondays and move delts to Thursdays. I am not sure if this is going to work but it is worth a try.

With that in mind, I worked back today and really had a good workout. I was able to do 3 plates for a full set on T-bar rows for the first time. I was able to do the entire stack (150#) on cable rows and 60# DB rows, both personal best.

Here is the rest of the workout:

Reverse grip pulldowns – 2 warm-up sets of 15/12, 3 working sets of 15/12/12
DB Rows – 4 sets of 12/10/8/8
T-bar rows (Olympic bar wedged in corner) – 2 warm-up sets of 12, 3 working sets of 12/10/8
Cable Rows – 3 sets of 12
Straight-arm pushdowns – 3 sets of 12/10/8
Straight-bar cable shrugs – 3 sets of 15

No cardio today due to time constraints.

I did not feel the pain and tightness I felt last week and I am glad. Tomorrow is chest day.
