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.
Arm Workout – July 15th 2010
Overall I felt really good today, felt strong and my shoulder is doing much better. 185 pounds on the close grips went up pretty easy today and i didn’t have any pain in the shoulder so that’s a good sign. I flat benched 225 for 4 reps on Monday which was the first time I attempted that weight in months.
Once i feel that my shoulder is 100% I am gonna try and hit a max bench press of 300 pounds. I’d like to stay at a body weight of under 160 when I do it too. Right now my morning weight is 152 pounds before eating anything. By bed time I’ve been weighing around 154.
