Chest day is done! I analyzed my range of motion last week and found that I wasn't going deep enough on my benches. So, I decided to hit this week and bench as deep as I could go safely on the smith machine. End result: 200lbs x 6 for the opening set, 150lbs x 8 for the closing set. I don't mind backstepping on the weight cause it doesn't matter. All that matters is the growth.
My abs were slaughtered with 4 sets of crunches @ 235lbs. Last set was "only" 12 reps. Man was I ever feeling it after those - I love that burn!
Train hard and lift safe folks!

PS - a couple of pics from Tuesday. Sorta blurry but you get the idea.
Your second photo really works. Have you thought of a getting a professional photographer to take a couple? They do the lighting really good.
ReplyDeleteHey there! Thanks for the feedback, it's always appereciated.
ReplyDeleteI've always relied on only myself for my workouts and supplementary activities, simply because I don't want to hassle anyone else with my scheduling or needs. I do workout with friends, indeed my best friend, from time to time and he does occasionally take pics. However, for the most part, it's just me.
I actually do own a decent digital SLR camera, but I rarely remember to set it up, break out the tripod, etc etc. :) I'll try to remember to do so at the end of this cycle.
