Tri Pushdowns
35 lbs x 12 reps
50 lbs x 8 reps- possible PR
1 arm pushdowns- 20 lbs x 5 per arm


Comments: Bench was ok today. I knew i wasn't going to get 14, but i wanted to push myself and am satisfied with 9 reps. I got 9 reps with 85% of 90% of my max on both military/bench, so hopefully they'll progress around the same. DB Rows were good- really focused on mind muscle and after my lats tired out on the 3rd set my bi's felt it too. DB bench was good, and here's my ego booster of the day; during calves some guy started talking to me (pretty big dude) and said he has no idea how the heck i squat 2 plates deep with such good form. He also told me to focus on the negative on calves so i decided to do that instead of just doing slow and controlled reps and it felt much harder. I am going to switch CGBP to a tricep exercise that probably isn't pushdowns.

what do yuo mean chest was shaking during CGBP? like it was twitching?

 

[Andalite]

Good workout. What do you mean your chest was twitching?

 

[JDid23]

Thanks guys.

It's not a big deal- it wasn't painful in any way, shape or form and it was because of flat BB and DB bench earlier

 

[ExtraMile]

if it wasnt painful then i would keep on diong cgbp

i am thinking of switching them to military day and having skull crushers on bench day, but that would still be after military and dips and chins the cgbp so that's a lot.

Also, today i visited my college i am going to next year- so many racks and i also met a guy who wants to start a weightlifting club so that should be pretty fuckin awesome if it happens

yes it is quite recent why? My tri's look non-existent in it lol but they actually look better than my bi's in the mirror...
