Blog 2: Chest day recap

Good afternoon everyone!

Chest day went very well, although I forgot how fun chest day can be when you’re not trying to chase a pump. We went in with a goal in mind, of moving as much weight as possible for as little sets as we could while keeping rest times minimal.

Nutrition wasn’t 100%, although I was close! Below is a recap of my training session:

 

Barbell bench press at 70% 1 rep max (245): 3 sets of 5 reps
15 degree DB press: 3 sets of 8-10 reps
30 degree incline DB press: 3 sets of 8-10 reps
Assisted Dip Machine: 3 sets of 10-15 reps
Cable Crossover: 3 sets of 10-15 reps
Triceps rope press down: 3 sets of 10-12 reps
Cambered bar triceps press down: 3 sets of 12-15 reps
Reverse cambered bar extensions: 3 sets 12-15

In my last post, I mentioned my plan to hitting a new max on bench of 405 by June 2018. Therefore I’m definitely focusing on volume as much as strength. I’ll be working triceps a lot more too in order to ensure my triceps are strong enough to handle the workload and press.

Chest day is complete! Back day is next, and when its back day, we DEADLIFT!
