Upper Body


Upper body day today, my glutes are decently sore from yesterday, but not as bad as expected.

Alternate Sets
Cable Bench Press
50x12
60x12
80x12
90x12
110x10

Weighted Chinups
30x5
40x5
50x5
55x5
60x4

Alternate Sets
Incline DB Fly - 40sx10, 45sx10, 50sx10, 55sx10
Cable Row - 120x10, 130x10, 140x10, 150x10

Alternate Sets
Rope Pushdowns - 3x15......70
No Cheat DB Curls - 30s (10, 8, 7)

The video shows the last set at 60 pounds, I was very close to getting my chin over the bar for that 5th rep, but I juuust fell short.  The cable bench press felt pretty good I think I'm getting stronger on that exercise.  The next pairing was pretty good it got hard by the last set on each where I barely was able to make it 10.  No cheat curls means my upper arm was against a pad and not able to move, not allowing any cheat.  So far my new program has done a decent job, I'm 5 pounds heavier.

After the workout I went for an intense mountain bike ride, it was hard but a blast.  It lasted maybe an hour but me and a co worker went fast and hard, which isn't easy for an hour, almost got lost as well.  My glutes and quads and lungs and traps were simply done, but again it was a lot of fun, this past Sunday was my first hike of the season, today was my first mountain bike ride of the season, the heat cooked me but I can't wait to do it again.
