Week 4: Chest pt.2

This was a monster day, filled with personal bests. I am pretty sure it had to do with missing the 'pt.1' Chest day on Monday, so we'll see how this affects my workout next week. I was very impressed with my last sets on flat bench, and I have to assume the incline bench has improved my flat bench, since I've never made gains this fast before.

I will mention again how great this blog has been in regards to tracking my progress. I am on a steady progression, with no stalls as of yet. Here is the breakdown:

Barbell flat bench:

• 135 x 10
• 135 x 10
• 135 x 10
• 245 x 4
• 285 x 4
• 295 x 4 +10lb from last week, and I repped all four on my own!
• 295 x 4 repped 3, needed help on 4th
• 275 x 5 decided to end with weight I knew I could hit 4, and surprised myself with a 5th rep

Dumbbell incline bench:

• 70 x 10
• 80 x 10
• 90 x 10
• 95 x 8 was hoping to rep out 10, but this was still impressive
• 95 x 7

Machine peck fly:

• 165 x 10
• 180 x 10
• 195 x 10

Abs:

75 crunches

Final thoughts: I love working out flat bench first, but I think that because of my Monday lifts starting on incline, that I am seeing bigger gains here. I won't tweak the program again for another couple of weeks in regards to chest, just to see when I start to stall out..
