*I can usually do more weight on the incline BB bench. However, I think since I was still sore from shoulders I wasn't able to put up as much weight. I'm thinking of throwing my leg day in mid week to give my upper body more of a rest.
Impressive workout as usual, Ryan. Those are numbers I dream of, lol. Does your collar bone issue ever give you grief any more? Or is that a thing of the past?

Thanks, Rob. Collarbone is a thing of the past, no problems whatsoever. Very pleased w/ that.

Last week I thought the cause of my horrible bench was my fatigued delts. I no longer think that. I can't believe how weak I have gotten in my chest. I used be able to rep out 225. Guess I have to get back to that point.
I can't believe how weak I have gotten in my chest.
I'd kill for your current numbers.
Nice workouts, Ryan. Those cable rows were indeed impressive at the reps you were knocking off. Good job, son.

thanks, Ritchie. Seems to be the lift you need the most concentration for. I've been getting slightly light headed on some of those lately. Don't know what that's all about.
Did the last set of tricep work with supersets, and really liked this method. I might do it form now on, or drop it down to three sets and throw in another superset after. Good workout today, pretty decent numbers. Still feel as though I should be doing more, though. I need a workout partner!
I really need to get my pull up numbers better, I used to be able to do at least 10. I've neglected them big time, though. I'm thinking I should throw some sort of body weight exercise after each one of my workout of incorporate it somehow.

Felt pretty good this morning. Getting my chest strength back. Although I was pleased with the incline DB bench, I was just as pleased with the superset numbers after.
do you have any particular body areas you're focused on, or mostly focused on overall strength?
Overall. I would like to bring up my arms as they are my weak point. I just love training everything equally though. I've gone on a few specialization routines and didn't like them as much.
Doing great, Ryan. 12-rep lunges with 50s is damned impressive. Nice all 'round, bud.

I was exhausted today in the gym. I was supposed to do Chest over the weekend at the latest but couldn't do it until today because of work. I was very surprised with my numbers, considering I also forgot my iPOD at the apartment. The only thing I can attribute it to is creatine I started taking again last week. GO CREATINE!
