Traditional Strength Training; Week3Session3; Thursday 5:00PM-7:35PM

Chest, Triceps, Shoulder Rehab, Forearms

  • Lying Side Bench Sit-ups: bw x 15, 10, 10 per side (this was so hard I laughed. This was brutal, but good. It pounds the oblique from a different angle. Wow! Photo to come. This is amazing!)
  • Lying Leg Raises: 12 lbs x 20 (one set, as I seemed to plateau here the last few workouts, So, next time I try for 20-25 reps)
  • DB Hammer Push-Press: 25 lbs x 10-10, 10-10, 10-10 (excellent for lungs, very good! breathing great!)
  • Lateral Raise: 20 lbs x 10, 10, 10, 10
  • DB Towel Upright Rows: 55 lbs x 11, 10,

Observations:

Breathing excellent. Some coughing in the middle, but I think this has to do with some new exercises I did (bench side bends) as well as some new breathing techniques in the morning that I have been using the last two days. That said, strength is again superb. Pump excellent. More growth on the way.

All reps were slow and controlled.

Once he presses the weight overhead, his rear-most leg buckles and his frontt-most leg looses a foothold. Ouch! He is lucky to be alive.
