Monday's Chest Day

Today we blasted out some chest. We had 4 of us going in a rotation.
Myself, Charlotte Quillen, Jesse Westburgh and Jim Davis.

As I stated yesterday, I did some higher rep moves rather than focus on heavy moves like I normally do.
I did this to give the body a rest, you all should do this from time to time, by doing so it will allow the body to recover a little more and you should be able to push heavier weight the next week.

Move 1:
Flat Bench press with Red Mini Bands and eventually we added monster minis to bring the total of band tension at the top to 220 lbs. (Note: Quillen did the mini bands plus 10's for her sets.

Move 2:
Incline dumbbell Press: Went for 10-15 reps here and for the last set, turned the dbells where palms were facing in , got this off powerlifter Corey Hayes. I will say I felt it really good in the upper pec area.

Move 3:
Hammer Strength Chest Press: We used the mini bands here and added 1 plate. Doing reps of 12-15 here, focusing on the contraction on each.

Move 4:
Incline dbell Fly: Really going deep at the bottom and contracting hard at the top. Sets of 15-20 reps

I finished off my day with some monster mini band crunches and oblique crunches.

Overall it was a sick day of training, I am still completely spent from it.

I hope everyone has had or you are about to have a sick day vs the Iron.

Thanks for checking this blog out.
