Chest Day

Had a really great chest workout and yes, I did listen to my muscles and went even harder on a few sets because my muscles told me to! lol

Seriously - I am getting closer to where I was in June. I was only going to do 4 sets of Bench, but as I hit that (230x4) it was just routine so I wanted to add some weight to get closer to the 285 - I did a 5th set at 260 and got 3 good reps out of that. So probably in a few weeks I'll be there. Also in the decline Bench press I was doing my 2nd set and wondering why it was tough (I could hit the reps, it was just tough doing it) so I looked at my record book and saw that I was only 20lbs away from my record -- so that is why is was tough -- getting closer to that also. I am taking it easier - most are only 4 sets or 3 sets but in doing so I am finding my body recovers quicker and I can hit it harder the next workout and get stronger.

Andy is coming down from Salt Lake to go with me to Vegas for the Olympia Expo - that'll be fun. Also I found out that Matt (who is an old bodybuilding friend) will also be there and we will try to find each other in the expo - that's always crazy because it's so noisy in there that you can't hear your cell phone and so crowded that it's hard to even feel the vibrate - but we'll find each other!

Have a good one everyone -- keep yourself strong and fit!
