Monday 5/14 - Chest/Tri's

Had a great weekend in PA.  Weight was up to 173.2, only up 1 pound, so not that bad, but weight has crept up from sub 170.  I'm OK with that because I'd been really restricting carbs for a while, so it's been good to add a few in for a couple weeks before cutting back again.  Can't build muscle without carbs.  I'll try to keep higher carb days to lifting days.  When I say adding carbs, it's still pretty clean - no bread/pasta, just brown rice and sweet potato really (OK, and 2 pieces of pizza in PA :) ).  Had 2 walks and 2 runs over the weekend.

Workout:

• (50#Bench/TortureTwists)5, Good bench (18,12,10,8,8)

• (45#Incline/HangAbs)4, Tri's tough after hard bench (10,8,7,7)

• (45#Dips/110#Flys)3, Yep, dips were tough again (9,7,5)

• (45#TriExt)6, Last sets did drop set 45/35/25

• (70#TriPushDn)5, Last set drop set 50/30

38 Mins

Comments:
Shortly before heading down for workout I got a meeting invite for 50 minutes later.  I was tempted to push my WO until after the meeting, but already had a shake for pre-meal, so I quickly got down to the gym. Pushed bench pretty hard and got in some good reps at failure.  This made incline tough and I knew dips were going to be a bear...and they were.  Did drop sets for final set on overhead tri extensions (45#/35#/25#).  Man did that burn good.  On the 25#'s, I went really deep.  I started tri push downs with 90#'s.  No effing way after what I'd already done.  Moved to 70#'s, then 50#'s and it was really burning.  The last set I did a drop set from 50#'s to 30#'s.  Felt really good.  Best part of the WO today was bench and the tri extension drop set going really deep.  Going to do that again for sure.  Overall a really good workout in a short amount of time.  36 sets in 38 minutes.  Hardly any rest between sets, sometimes jumping right back in.  Not something I want to do all the time, but a really good change up I'll do again.
