Today was chest day. For the first time I hit 100 pounds per hand on the incline hammer chest press. Felt incredible! Although I did try to barbell bench again. Gave up after the 3rd set and switched to dumbbell bench because it was irritating my left shoulder.
Incline hammer chest press: 45x15 70x12 80x10 90x8 100x6
Barbell bench: 135x8 145x5 155x3
Dumbbell bench: 50x10 60x10 70x7
Dumbbell incline fly: 15x15 15x15 15x15 15x15
Machine fly: 85x12 100x12 100x12 100x12
I really want to be able to barbell bench and it’s driving me crazy that I can’t. I should have known better after the first set. I can get to about 6-7 reps and left shoulder just doesn’t like it. I need to just quit worrying about barbell bench and stick with the hammer strength and dumbbells. Bright side is I did make it to 100 pounds per hand. Also I think this was the first time I hit 10 reps with 80 pounds. It was also the first time I did 90 pounds. So lots of progress happening!
30 minutes cardio before and after.
