Happy Hump Day....8/23/06
well, well, well....lets see....what is new with me?
Well, since my last post, i told ya'll that i was gettin back on track and hittin the gym hard again.....and luckily, i stuck to my word. Last night, i teamed up with a friend and did a heavy chest and bicep workout, which i haven't done in ages!.....so, at first i was like....hmmmmm, where do i even start?
Well, we started off with db chest press and by the 3rd set i pushed out 8 reps with 40 lb dumbbells.....not so shabby if ya asked me...especially since my workouts usually consist of lighter weights and higher reps....
then we thu in some alternating dumbbell curls, which i maxed out with 25 lbs for about 8-10 reps.....
after that we did an incline chest press machine which i don't think really measured my true strength, cause the machine itself weighed a lot without putting the pin in the rack to add weight, but i did 40lbs for 10 reps for 3 sets. after that we did bent bar curls which my max weight was 65lbs for 8 reps......after that believe it or not, i was already starting to get sore, so we ended with heavy resistance band lower chest fly's and push-ups done on a squishy ab type ball...which works your core for balance as well as your chest for a great burn out ending exerecise. I also did heavy resistance band bicep curls to burn out my biceps in the end!
so, that was that, and today i must say i feel great, but my chest is sore to the touch....so getting changed and doing everyday simple things with my arms....was.....not so simple!
ok, i hope everyone is havin' a great week, and i will let you know how the rest of my training this week goes!
