Tues Chest With FryUp

Was keen for a good session today after spending most of it downloading Cinderella on Youtube for my daughter/boss.

Started with inclines
2x10, 2x8, 2x6
Worked up to 85kgs on the top sets. I never remember the exact numbers but I do recall wanting to have a crack at 90kgs for the top sets next week. Its this attention to detail that has alllowed me to blaze the trail through powerlifting that I have since entering the sport. On a serious note, Im more concerned with pressing with my chest on each rep.

Declines

Apparently the bar was bent which contributed to things being a bit off for Mike tonight. I didnt do as well as I did last week either. I was about to lay down a story about how doing squats for time yesterday must have fatigued my nervous system a fair bit, but Mike beat me to it so I'll blame the bar as well. Pyramided up and down from 70kgs- 100kgs for sets of 10ish.

Dumbell Bench

Mike did 50kgs for a set of 10 and made it look easy (got footage too). I struggled a bit on this because the bar was a bit ben........shit wrong one.....I mean the fatigue from the squats really caught up to me on this one so I couldn't lift very much. I'm not even going to bother trying to remember any of it. I just know that next week I'll start with the 30kg dbells. We did 5 sets of 10 or so

Machine Press supersetted with standing cable flyes

I like this superset. We started on 100kgs on the mach and 24kg on the flyes. My first set I did 20 on the chest press and 12 or so on the flyes. We worked up to 140kgs which I did twice but dropped to 120kg for the last set. On flyes we got up to 30kgs but I should have dropped back as my reps were shit but I thought someone was watching so I didnt want to risk losing any coolness points.

Finished off with some log press just to keep in practice for the Boys Day Out strongman comp in september.
