My Latest Chest Workout!

I was supposed to do a chest workout yesterday, but we had Applebee's for lunch and it totally screwed up my stomach. My stomach is really sensitive to salad dressing and last night I ordered a Ceasar salad, totally forgetting about the horrible stomach pains I would have afterwards. Definitely not a smart move on my part.

So I did my chest workout late this morning, just doing flat bench and here's the routine I completed:

*35lbs 1 set x 12 reps
*45lbs 1 set x 12 reps
*55lbs 1 set x 10 reps
*65lbs 1 set x 5 reps
*75lbs 1 set x 1 rep (because Roger made me laugh...)
*75lbs 1 set x 3
*80lbs 1 set x 2!

80lbs is my heaviest lift to date. I had Roger spotting me in case I needed some help, but I completed 2 full reps. =]

Chest Workout - Up to 75 lbs and I'm sick! :)

I have been neglecting my chest workouts a little bit the past couple of weeks, so I trained them pretty hard recently. I surprised myself and was able to bench 75 pounds...and I'm sick! Now I can't wait until my next chest day so I can see how much I improve!

Here's what I did:

Flat Bench

35# - 1 set x 12 reps
45# - 2 sets x 10 reps
55# - 1 set x 6 reps
65# - 1 set x 4 reps
75# - 1 set x 2 reps, 1 set x 1 rep

I'm really loving that pink bench! Maybe someday I can convince Roger to buy me one of my very own. :)
