Alright today was a chest day. I felt good going in, but it didn't feel right when I got heavy. Not an overall good or bad day:

Flat
135 x 15
175 x 12
200 x 8
160 x 10

Incline db
70 x 8
70 x 5

Machine Incline
180 x 8
200 x 8
220 x 8

That was all she wrote today. I kept it to all presses for various reasons. I need to improve my upper chest and the fact that apparently there is a summer class today and I could barely get around.

Nice benching!

Trick D · 06-29-2006, 09:36 PM

Thanks bro...

Trick D · 06-29-2006, 10:05 PM

It was 220 x 6 on incline machine not 8, I wanted to want to make that clear... I wish it was 8!

AYung · 06-29-2006, 10:16 PM

Was it on one of those Hammer Strength ones?

Trick D · 06-29-2006, 10:22 PM

Nope... one of those incline machines that aren't accurate at all. If I could bench that much in real life, it would be awesome.

trickD you'll get there don't worry. when you say it doesn't feel right when you go heavy...what do you mean......and thanks for comin by my journal.

AYung · 06-30-2006, 01:42 AM

Eventually you will be able to lift that and more if you keep this up.

Trick D · 06-30-2006, 02:17 AM

Nah it was a good day.... when I mean it didn't feel right, it might as been as simple as a bad hand placement or the fact that I was using a different bench that I am use too. I did 200 x 8 which is my best with 200 lbs, but the connection between my mind and muscles were off today, not sure what it was. I feel good now, still swole.

**NewSpawn** · 06-30-2006, 02:35 AM

yeah...i know what you mean trickD......if the mind isn't focused and working together with the muscle....its hard to get a satisfying workout.

Trick D · 06-30-2006, 02:50 AM

Yeah, i enjoyed the workout, but it definitely wasn't my best, I had to get a spot from a guy I didn't know, He was in a hurry, I couldn't get amped like I normally do, new bench, crowded gym... there was about 1 million excuses, still got it 8 times, could have got it more on a better day.

Trick D · 07-03-2006, 09:22 PM

Well I was going to do back friday but I ended up going to the pool (Happy D, sad Body)... anyway, I did back today... this is the workout... A few PR's might I add.

Wide Grip Pulldowns
150 x 12
180 x 8
200 x 5 (pr)

Reverse Grip Pulldowns
200 x 5 (PR)
200 x 5 (pr)

Yates Rows:
135 x 15
195 x 4.5
185 x 5

Neutral Grip Yates Rows:
185 x 6
185 x 6

Seated Cable Rows two sets with 135, back kinda cracked, doesn't hurt but I stopped for safety reasons.

I also did 3 sets of shrugs...

Overall was a good day. Weight was 164.

**BigZeke** · 07-03-2006, 09:48 PM

What do you mean by Neutral Grip? Like Hammer Grip? What barbell do you use?

Trick D · 07-03-2006, 10:03 PM

I mean palms down, I do yates rows with palms up to work biceps too... I do both in each workout... just because I like too. I do it on smith machine because I don't use spots on it.

**BigZeke** · 07-03-2006, 10:20 PM

Isn't it weird doing it on the smith because of the fixed angle of motion.

Trick D · 07-03-2006, 11:23 PM

I don't think so, it doesn't bother me at all. I juse bend over at the waist a bit, bring it straight up to my chest and down... it works my back very well, and I am in a comfortable position.

**NewSpawn** · 07-04-2006, 01:58 AM

hey trickD good workout man. easy on the back big fella....don't wanna get any injuries that'll hold ya back. hope you have a happy 4th of july
