The Beast's Training Journal!

2-19-04 Thursday Chest and Rear delts

I did around 12 sets for chest, possibly a little more. Very light. I started with 135x20 on flat bench, then 185x10 and next 225x10. I wanted to test my strength with 275 for reps, but still feeling some slight pain, so Ill wait a while. Im taking anti inflammatories now for my upper back, so maybe that will help. Then I did a few light sets on the Hammer Strength wide chest machine. 2 45's per side for 15 reps, added 10's to each side, a few sets total of that. Then some cable flies, 3-4 sets of 15 reps with 60,70 and 90lbs. Then 3 sets of rear delts on machine reverse flies. Only up to 210lbs, unsure of reps. Didnt record the workout. Next Ill hit arms. Either tommorrow or the next day. Will probabally go all out on them now that I cant train my back , and chest fully.

what page is your leg day on????

Its in there. I only train them once a week now, and light due to my back injury. When Im deadlifting again, I may not train them at all. Or maybe Ill alternate them with deads every other week.

I will list two days of training in this one thread, since I missed posting it yesterday and will be copying and pasting this to other 2 other message boards. This shit isnt too interesting to read at the moment anyway. But I will get back into it again, after this back heals up. I am planning to take this entire week off from training and just eat, in the hopes that it will bring my complete recovery quicker. Both of these days were light to speed healing.

ThanX brother!! Yes, sometimes Ill go down to 12 reps, and on some days my reps are all over the place. Some sets may only be 8-6 reps, others 12. When doing tricep pulldowns I also bring the rope/v-bar up to around chin level and get under it. I dont stop it half way up as Ive seen others do. If I start to fatigue towards the end I can cheat out a few extra reps also. My triceps get pretty sore. Im really looking to bring them up. They are a weakness for me. Im sure I could add a good 2 inches on my arm size if my triceps were well developed, not to mention strength increases in all my pressing movements. ThanX again!!

adding 2" on arms would be very nice!! but just keep it up. My tricepts are one of my weak points too... I have been doin some close grip bench, on flat and inlcine.. I am liking those. Also drop sets of scull crushers on a cable machine are really nice too.. the burn is unbeleivable sumtimes.
Keep it up!
