Alright so today was chest and triceps. Rolling with dumbbell bench now instead of barbell. Got a good handle on getting them into position so will try 70 pound dumbbells next week or maybe I will do them Friday before I do arms. On the 3rd set I did 60 pounds for 9 reps, goal was 10 reps and I stopped short of 1 because I think I miscounted. I may have done 10 reps but not sure so not giving myself credit for that. I immediately grabbed them again and did 6 more reps. Definitely think I can hit 70 pounds for 10 or atleast close.
Hammer incline chest press: 45x15 70x12 80x10 85x6
Dumbbell bench: 40x12 50x12 60x9 60x6 (40 and pounds felt way to light)
Dumbbell incline fly: 15x15 20x12 25x12 25x12 (these felt great! Nice slow and focused on breathing)
Machine fly: 85x12 100x12 100x12 100x10 (did these much slower and focused on squeezing pecs together)
Tricep dips: 140x15 160x15 180x13 90x30
Cable rope tricep pushdown: 60x15 70x15
Vbar tricep pushdown: 80x15 100x 15 70x25
I tried the cross body tricep extensions but those put strain on shoulders. Not a huge fan of the rope pushdowns because I feel way more tricep activation with the vbar. The vbar is what I always use.
