Weights:
| 5/2/24 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 
| 18 minutes fasted cardio( 6 minutes HIIT 12 reps @ 10 sec/ 20 sec recovery) 6 minutes warmup/ 6 minutes cool down |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 
| Bench Press | 3 | 17,20,18 | 175 | I pushed on these, they hurt and I more or less failed trying to hit 20 each time, I was gassed, 2 minute break between sets. I could have pushed more weight but for less reps. Maybe like 185-190 for sets of 12. Not sure wants optimal but these reps felt really good overall, nice form, smooth down, force up and slow contraction at the bottom. |  |  |  |  | 
| Incline Dumbell Press (30 degtees) | 3 | 20,17,15 | 120 | Felt good to use dumbells, the last set caught up with me. |  |  |  |  | 
| Bench Press | 1 | 37 | 155 | Chest felt like it was cramping, tearing, basically worn out from previous exercises, felt good, awesome tight pump. I was trying for 50, instead of repping now I am holding and pausing the bar even on heavier sets. |  |  |  |  | 
| Dumbbell Upright row | 3 | 15 | 70(35lb/ea) | Harder for me to do these than 95-100 on the barbell |  |  |  |  | 
| Bent over Row | 3 | 20 | 145 | Really squeezing the back each rep. |  |  |  |  | 
| Meadows Rows | 3 | 15 | 60,45 | dropped weight, was fatigued and wanted to keep form. |  |  |  |  | 
| Triceps rope push down w. seperation and full extension | 3 | 20 | 45 |  |  |  |  |  | 
| Forearm dumbell curl on bench | 2 | 12 | 20 | I want to incorporate 1-2 Forarm exercises in my routine. |  |  |  |  | 
 I will post legs tomorrow after I do some high set work.
