Day 60 - Big Chest and Biceps Day!
Today I felt really good when I woke up... A lot of the soreness I had been feeling was gone and that was a great feeling... I'm on day four of forged joint repair so I believe that its starting to really kick in and its showing to be a nice help...
Cardio was great today... My endurance is feeling really strong right now and I love that... I started with the elliptical for 7.75 miles on level 8 for 60 minutes... I finished with 8 sets up up downs- 25 each set... 8 sets of up-downs is quite a bit and I was definitely feeling it after these... I was definitely pumped up to hit the weights though!
Today was chest and biceps and I had an excellent workout!
Bench press: 225x10, 225x10, 230x10, 235x10
Dumbbell bench press (5 second negatives) - 75x10, 75x10, 75x10, 80x10
Bodymaster vertical pec machines - 120x10, 120x10, 130x10, 140x10
TRX band push ups - 15, 15, 15, 15 30 second rests
Dumbbell simotaneous side arm curls - 55x10, 55x10, 55x10, 55x10
Single arm dumbbell curls - 70x10, 75x10, 75x10, 80x10
Cloe grip inverted bar curl - 75x10, 75x10, 75x10, 75x10
Cable straight bar curl - 185x10, 185x10, 185x10, 185x10
So today I did things a bit differently... Instead of mixing my two body parts together throughout, i isolated both of them to really burn them all out as much as possible...
I started with the bench press... I felt good and strong and maintained my PR weight of 235x10...
Next I went to dumbbell bench press negatives and the bodymaster vertical pec machine... After doing those heavy bench presses and then doing a really heavy negative dumbbell bench, my chest was definitely feeling it... I got up to 80 x10 on the negatives and I STILL managed a PR on the vertical pec machine at 140x10...
I immediately went to the TRX bands and did 4 sets of 15 band pushups with only 30 second rests... I was definitely happy the chest portion of the workout was over because I was definitely feeling it!!
Next I did simotaneous dumbbell side arm curls and single arm dumbbell curls... When I do the simontanous side arm curls, my vasuclarity is crazy... I love them just for that! They are very tough though and were a great start to the biceps portion... I set a PR on my single arm dumbbell curls of 80 x10... This was a big PR for me...
Next I did close grip inverted bar curls... I did all four sets at 75 x10 and I really felt that this exercise worked my biceps very nicely...
I finished with straight bar cable curls... I had to add a 35lb. free weight to the cables and did all four sets at 185 x10... This was a great finish to an excellent workout...
I was very happy with my strength and endurance today... I am feeling very strong and energized... I am starting pct on Sunday and I want to go into it with as much progress as possible and I will do everything I can to hold on to and add to my progress through pct as well... This was an excellent workout and I am very pleased with my continued progress... I will not settle for anything less... I do everything I can to make some sort of progress everyday... All feedback appreciated!!
