Similar to yesterday, today was my first upper body training session since November, 2013. At the WNPF meet I lifted at in Philadelphia, I benched a whole 135lbs. I then passed my next two attempts. I did this because at the time I thought I had re-injured my right tricep muscle/tendon. I ruptured my right tricep tendon in June of 2012. In my training leading up to this particular meet, I thought I did it again, so I took a token bench to ensure my squat would be upheld.
Floor Bench: 2x10 bar, 2x5 95lbs., 3x5 135lbs. Grey Band Assisted Pull-Ups: 2x5, 1x3-Horrible attempts, and I almost tipped over my cage doing so. It will need to be either bolted to the garage floor or bolted to a lifting platform I am going to build this weekend. Body Weight Push-Ups: 3x10 EZ Bar Curls: 1x10 bar, 3x10 bar+20lbs. Red Band Tricep Pushdowns: 3x10 My tricep feels fine. I finished this workout about an hour ago and still feel a pump in my biceps and triceps. Summer is almost here, and I need to look good in our pool.

Today I got my first training session in of my program geared towards the WNPF Upstate meet on August 2, 2014. I would like to start off by stating that I have not got a lifting session in since my last meet in November, 2013. I am starting fairly fresh, and extremely light. With that in mind, this is what my training session consisted of today:
Squat: 2x10 bar, 2x10 95lbs., 2x10 135lbs., 2x5 185lbs., 2x5 225lbs. Barbell Shrugs: 1x15 bar, 3x10 95lbs. Orange Band Goodmornings: 3x10 Plate Front Raises: 3x10 with a 25lb. plate Some of you that may be reading this may be thinking to themselves, "Why would this person post such low numbers for the world to see?" I will leave you with this, it is not where you start, but where you finish that matters most. |
