Upper Body


First full upper body day in a while., wanted to test elbow a bit more.

Alternate Sets
Cable Bench Press - 8, 8, 8, 8, 8..........70, 80, 90, 100, 110(5)
Weighted Chinups - 8, 8, 8, 8, 8........bw, 20, 25, 30, 35(5)

Incline Flies - 10, 10, 10........40s, 45s, 50s
Bent Over Row - 3x8........130

R-Band Tricep Pushdowns - 3x20.....all with blue band

I was happy with how it went, at times I thought I was feeling my elbow but I think it was more in my head.  The first pairing went well that's the first time I have done weighted chinups in a while, and probably bothered my broken finger the most, more than pullups, but it's just my pinky.  They went better than I expected.  First time doing bent over rows in a while too, probably my least favourite rowing exercise, but it works a lot of muscle groups, went well there too.  The pushdowns was to test my elbow, normally I couldn't do that but this time I simply felt my triceps, they burned a lot on those last 2 sets, high reps so nothing heavy directly for the elbow yet, but so far so good.

PS my inner thigh and lower glutes are insanely sore, stupid 5 sets of 10 squats.
