Chest/Back - Caught Myself Half Repping

Big takeaway from today was that I tried to go up in weight, more accurately hit my previous high, on the incline bench press and noticed that I was very weak on my range of motion. I was half repping. For the following sets, I took the weight down and made sure that I did the reps properly.


I am not sure if anyone else who reads this blog appreciates this guy’s humor but I do. He also has some truth in what he says and this is what made me conscious of my half repping.


Warm Up:


Chest/Back Routine  - 1st set is at ½ weight with 10 reps. Then 5 sets of 5 reps each.
