Upper Body - Putting in the Work

I rested yesterday and my body did not want to get back into the groove today. I tried to find every excuse to pack it in and do nothing but decided to just put my work in and do it. At the end of the workout I felt good about what I was able to accomplish.

Warm Up:

Chest/Back Routine - 1st set is ½ weight and 10 reps to warm up and focus on form. Then 5 sets with 5 reps each at max weight.


Notes / Results:

  • Time: 60 minutes. Stretched out my finisher to meet the time. Made good time through the sets.
  • Weight: 194. Seems to be my high water mark.
  • Pull Ups/Dips/Chin Ups - Done in succession with no rest as one set
    • Sets: 4/8/5, 3/5/3, 3/8/3, 2/ 3/2, 2/5/3
    • # indicates use of weight belt so 5# means 5 reps done with 5 pound weight belt
    • This was the first time I did these exercises first. Also, could not find weight belt so dips done with body weight.
  • Barbell Row
    • Previous High: 4@165
    • 4@155, 4@155, 145, 155, 3@165
