Flat Dumbbell Chest Press: 6 sets of 13 reps @ 40lbs. This was a lot better than the 60lb pair I tried to do last week. Deadlift: 1) 12 reps @ 195lbs. 2) 10 reps @ 230lbs. 3) 8 reps @ 245lbs. 4) 3 reps @ 260lbs. Compared the accessory weight levels and reps to […]

Speeding up my logs at this point so expect this to be a little shorter. Bench Press & Deadlift Day, on my final workout cycle. Decline Bench Press: Used 175lbs as my estimated max, felt it was a little low after assessing it. Only serious issue was liftoff, pressing the bar was fine. Feel like […]

Alright day two of the 5th cycle. Learning high intensity principles and applying them to Bench Press & Deadlift day. Going to keep this log short, just a summary, but it was a fantastic workout. Again, since I am allowing shoulders to recouperate I am focused on isolation work for my chest and pressing motions, […]

Another quick log this was Bench Press/Deadlift day. Did these at my old gym, LA Fitness, out of convience. Iso-Lateral Chest Press: Using this to replace the bench press. Felt the shoulder strain come out of the picture when the starting bars were moved a little forward. Good isolation but had to go light and […]

Alright today was Bench Press & Deadlift day just wanted to record a quick log. We are in cycle 3 of the training plan, an extra hypertrophy training cycle… repeat of last week with either greater volume, greater resistance or more demanding technique. I’ll keep this pretty simple because it’s more or less a repeat […]
