chest routine, interesting!
Friday, August 1st, 2008Decided to BB BP today. Took a bit of prodding and whatnot. Plus, the benches were all in use. We only have three benches for flat bench for BBs; one for incline. I had to wait for a bench. In doing so, this is what I did.
Machine Shoulder Military Press 2×6x90; 2×6x100
Machine Chest Press 2×6x100; 2×6x110
BB BP 1×5x45;1×3x65;1×6x65;1×5x65
Machine Incl. BP 3×5x60
Pec Dec 2×5x110; 1×3x140
DB Hammer Curls 1×8x25;2×8x30
DB Shrugs 2×10x35;2×10x45
Hanging Leg Raises 2×10x170
Bicycle Kicks 2×10x170
My comments:
Things went as expected. No complaints! Still trying to figure what I am doing wrong on BB BP. I felt the BB BP in the right pec slightly. Feel as though I am not getting enough power from my base. Also, I am unsure about placement of bar as I bench. Pec flies burned like heck, managed 140×3. Couldn’t seem to get the last 2 reps in, oh well! On DB shrugs, shoulders burned!
I think I have an idea as to what my problem(s) are when BB BP:
Two things, no power from the base, legs, shoulders. Second, not sure where to place the bar when benching. Let me give more detail about this one. I mean that I don’t put the bar in the same place twice when benching. First time out, I go mid-chest; next few times I go just below the pecs. Also, think I just maybe too tall for BB BP.
Any advice, comments, suggestions?
