Exercise Log 3.16.14 (Chest Day, No Cardio)

Quick short log of my chest day. Kept it short, still nursing a sore shoulder but felt good about that because of the chronic issue I’ve had with feeling that I perhaps am going too long in my workout plan in general.

Short workout means short log though.

Flat Bench Press: Set 1) 5 reps @ 135lbs. Set 2) 5 reps @ 145lbs. Set 3) 5 reps @ 155lbs. Set 4) 5 reps @ 165lbs (took several pauses).

Chest Press (Machine): Set 1) 8 reps @ 100lbs. Set 2) 8 reps @ 115lbs. Set 3) 8 reps @ 130lbs. Set 4) 8 reps @ 145lbs.

Seated Cable Flys: 4 sets of 12 reps @ 30lbs. Focused on slow tempo and good chest contractions.

Hip Dumbbell Press / Regular Dumbbell Press: 3 sets of 10 reps each exercise @ 30lbs.

Inclined Dumbbell Flys / Inclined Shoulder Press: 4 sets of 10 reps each exercise @ 20lbs, slow tempo. Wanted to be careful not to aggrevate the shoulder.

Felt a little lingering soreness on the shoulder, but it’s getting better. I’m hoping by next week it’s completely healed, if not I’ll have to consider skipping chest day. Which is fine, I like my bench press and front squat to grow in parity and my front squat is a little lagging. Which is my next workout day…
