Week 6: Chest pt.2

Today was pretty standard fare, although I admit I felt a little weaker throughout the entire workout. I hadn't done chest in over a week since I skipped Monday, but if anything I figured that would have given my chest more rest. Apparently not. The only thing I can figure is that I had to settle for Wendy's for lunch today, which is nothing compared to the chicken, turkey burger, and veggies that I'd been eating the rest of the week.

Unfortunately, Fernando was out of town today (another possible reason for my lack of strength?) so there is no video, but it was not as impressive a feat as last week's, so you aren't missing out. Here's the breakdown:

Barbell flat bench:

• 135 x 10
• 135 x 10
• 135 x 10
• 245 x 3
• 285 x 3
• 305 x 3
• 315 x 2 (felt very weak on these)
• 315 x 1, 2 assisted

Dumbbell incline bench:

• 65 x 10
• 75 x 10
• 85 x 10
• 95 x 9
• 95 x 7

Machine peck fly:

• 165 x 10
• 180 x 10
• 210 x 9 (+1 rep from last week)

Final thoughts: Hopefully not a sign of plateau, but I really wasn't handling today's workout with the same fervor as last week. I think it's too soon to start making program-changing decisions, so after another week, I'll see whether I need to rotate in some smolov jr. cycles or even de-rack and work on stamina..
