On Sunday morning we made two trips to Menards and picked up the remaining 70 pavers for the outdoor gym area. Then spent some time cleaning up the area and had to do a PVC repair of the old sunroom downspout. Stopped after that because it gets so damn hot back there. I mowed B’s lawn, we played 9 holes of golf in the afternoon, and skipped our workout. I walked 18 yesterday and then mowed the lawn at night. I was out in the garage by 12:30 today because we have a Mixology event at work this afternoon with several drinks. This is the second session of the chest program for the week.
Warm-up
- 20 PVC Passes
- 10 Bench Press (45#)
- 10 Bench Press (75#)
Chest
MAX Bench Press (100/50#)
I got 55, which is five more.
100 Push-ups
I went 10-10-7-5-3-3, and then doubles. Finished in 4:48 and definitely need to start more conservative. I didn’t respect how fatigued I’d feel from that set of bench. Took exactly five minutes of rest before a lot of benching.
Bench Press
- 3 sets to failure @ each (155/125/100#)
- 3:00 Rest between sets
I did 15-14-12, 19-18-16, and 28-24-23. The program said to rest 5-6 minutes between sets, which I figured was way too much and it would have been. As you can see by my numbers I was plenty rested for my next set. This many reps seemed extremely excessive though and I’m worried for my future of moving my upper body the rest of the week!
6 Sets
- 12 Double DB French Press (20#)
- 1:00 Rest
Calls for tricep extensions or pushdowns, so this is the movement I picked today.
Conditioning
4 Rounds
- 700m Run
- 2:00 Rest
My legs felt sooo heavy going out for that first run! My times were 3:15, 3:02, 3:04, and 3:02. Really happy with my performance.
