TUESDAY – CHEST
I think I like doing chest early in the week (especially on Tuesday). I did not have to wait for anything this morning. However, I did get a late start and did not have time to do my mile run afterwards. I just could not get out of bed. I had only gotten 4 hours sleep the past two nights and it was beginning to take a toll. How often am I supposed to yawn during presses?
I have made a decision to start listing my weights on my updates. Some of you have emailed me and asked why I did not. The answer is simple…they are not where I want them to be. Compared to a lot of you my numbers are low. But, I remembered that I have only been back at it 6 months after a 5-year layoff and my numbers are supposed to be down. The good thing is I see them moving up (ever so slightly but up is up). So, from now on, I will do my best to list the weights for each exercise. I will also use this as a way to track my progress (or lack of) and to keep me on the ball. So here goes…
I warmed up for 5 minutes on the elliptical and then hit the iron. Here’s how it went.
UPPER CHEST
Flat DB Press – 12×40, 12×45, 10×50, and 8×55
Seated Machine Flyes – 10×90, 9×90, 8×90 (this is the one exercise that I was not able to increase the weight and still keep the form).
DB Pullovers – 12×50, 12×60, and 12×70
MIDDLE CHEST
Incline Bench Press – 12×100, 8×100, and 6×100
Incline DB Flyes – 12×20, 12×25, and 10×30
LOWER CHEST
Decline DB Press – 12×30, 10×35, and 8×40
Cable Crossovers – 12×40, 10×40, 10×50
Tomorrow will be leg day. I have slacked off the last few weeks on leg workouts but I am going to hit it hard tomorrow to make up a little ground.
