4/3/08 Upper Body Workout #2
Bench Press 3rm - 275x3
next week i am going to try to tie my old 3rm of 280 and then go for a new true 3rm the following week of 285
Floor Press 5rm - 250x5
Push Press 5x5 - 145x5, 145x5, 145x5, 145x5, 145x5
last week i had some trouble doing push press and had to switch to military press after 1 set b/c my legs were still exhausted from tuesday's leg workout, but now that i am back in the swing of things i was able to make it through all 5 sets no problem
Weighted Dips 3x8 - 45x8, 45x8, 45x8
Pull/Chin Ups 6x6 6 6 6 6 6 5
i was pressed for time today so i super-set the dips and pull/chin ups
Tate Press 3x10-12 - 40x12, 40x12, 40x12
Incline DB Curls 3x8-10 - 40x10, 40x10, 40x7
like i said i was press for time, so i super-set the tate presses and db curls too. it was actually really nice, i know we have a thread in the training section about "the pump" and the fact that it isn't really necessary for anything, but it is always a good feeling to leave the gym with your upper body all pumped - especially the arms - get to walk around and feel huge for a while
