I started off with chest this week. I had been looking forward to getting back on em' and I can always get a great chest workout!
After walking the room to see what I was feeling, I ended up at the incline bench. I did a good warm up sets of 20 reps. I didn't get tired at all during this sets, which told me that I was gonna be strong while doing my working sets.
I jumped right into 225lbs and went for it. I wanted to do 5 sets of 10 but didn’t think that I’d be able to get all the reps. So I wanted to go heavy with the 225lbs, but also wanted to get good work in too, so I did 5 sets of 185lbs after the 225 sets. Here’s how it broke down:
Incline Bench Press - 1 warm up set and 10 working sets
135lbs x 20 reps (warm up)
225lbs x 5 reps
225lbs x 5 reps
225lbs x 5 reps
225lbs x 5 reps
225lbs x 5 reps
185lbs x 5 reps
185lbs x 5 reps
185lbs x 5 reps
185lbs x 5 reps
185lbs x 5 reps
I finished off on a machine and not free weight cause my chest was feeling pretty taxed and I didn't want to worry about dropping the weight. I went to the Hammer Strength Machine and knocked out 3 sets of 15 with 2 plates and called it a day!
Hammer Strength Wide Chest Machine - 3 sets, 2 plates, 15 reps each
2 plates x 15 reps
2 plates x 15 reps
2 plates x 15 reps
That was all I could fit in today. I did a lot of work with on the incline bench so I feel really good!
