Quad And Chest Recap.

Just a quick recap of my past two workouts from the past two days. I have some updates coming to my members section this week, including progress pictures and training pictures from this week and last. As for Monday, I blasted quads again, and this time was even worse for the "Quad Crew", my boys Kenny and Jay both tapped out early. I believe the text I got from Jay today said, "I couldn't get out of bed and my whole body is killing me." This is what the workout consisted of:

Warm up with 3 sets of squats 135, 225, 315
Squats: 405x10, 440x8, 455x7
Leg press: 8 plates x 12, 12 plates x 12, 16 plates x 10, Triple drop set last set 16 plates, 12 plates, 8 plates
DB lunges: 3 sets 40 across the gym
(Super set)
Leg extensions: 3 sets x failure, last set was a drop set

For chest today, I pretty much went old school, power lifter heavy. I went as far as doing some sets of only 5 reps which is odd for me dieting and being 8 weeks out from a show, but I wanted a change of pace and this defiantly was a good one.

Incline barbell press: 225x12, 275x10, 315x6
Incline hammer strength: 225x12, 315x10, 405x8
Incline db flys: 40x12, 45x12, 50x12
Barbell bench: 225x12, 275x10, 315x5
Cable cross overs: 60x15, 70x15, 70x15

I was pretty burnt at the end of chest as well, my chest stays pretty strong whether dieting or not, my weaknesses are usually shoulders and arms. As for my legs, back, and chest, I can usually keep my weights heavy until about 2 weeks out. My weight currently is 190, and coming down. I dropped 3 pounds from last week so I am excited to see what this week will bring. Only 8 weeks to go so that's less that 2 pounds a week. Dave sent me an email after reviewing my pictures and told me that he is very impressed with my progress and I am looking right on track. That's always a boost of moral when your this far into dieting.
TAKE ADVANTAGE OF EVERY OPPORTUNITY AND EVERY DAY, FOR YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN IT WILL BE YOUR LAST CHANCE OR LAST DAY.
