Chest

10/20/99-Chest. We did flat bench first. After warm-ups and a few progreesive sets, I was able to bench 185lbs. 5 unassisted and 3 assisted. Not much to you 400lbs. bench pressers but we all have to start somewhere. I haven't really bench pressed in 5 years, only doing ocassional push-ups. I used to bench 225lbs. at a body weight of 130lbs. so I have a lot to catch up on. Then we did inclines on the Hammer Strength and did machine flyes.

10/27/99-Chest 171 lbs. Did stepper for 10 minutes and some stretching. Started with bench press. Warm up with the bar and did 95x8, 135x8, 155x6, 185x6, 205x6(unassisted 2, assisted 4)225x3 (unassisted 1, assisted 2). Not too bad huh. Followed with incline presses, machine flyes, and wide grip hammer strength for declines. Did stepper for 20 minutes. Can't help it if there's a pretty workmate doing the stepper right next.
