Bench Press and Deadlift Workout – September 26th 2010
Today’s workout consisted of mainly the Bench Press and Deadlift. Normally I train back and chest on their own day, but for lack of time this week I had to pair them up so I focused on the two major exercises for those muscle groups. I started off with Flat Bench Presses and supersetted them with pullups for my lats. My Bench Press sets were 135 x 10, 165 x 5, 195 x 3, 225 x 4, 235 x 3 and 185 x 9
Back and Calves – Monday, August 9th 2010
I made sure to get a deep stretch at the bottom of every rep on each calf movement and really squeezed hard at the top of each rep for maximum contraction of the calf muscles. My calves were toast after my last set and the routine only took a total of about 10-12 minutes.
Chest, Back and Triceps – Sunday, July 18th 2010
I love doing my pullups in between sets of bench presses because it has definitely minimized the pain in my left shoulder and is allowing me to feel completely warmed up in the shoulder region which is key to feeling good on bench press movements, plus it allows me to get a little extra work in for my lats each week. Also it doesn’t really diminish my strength on the presses because it’s a pulling movement and while I’m doing those my chest is getting rest. Overall it does make for a harder, more taxing workout but I like doing this routine and I’ll probably stick with it for a little longer.
