nothing Gerry crazy today; but I did hit some PRs. chest/tri day.
db flat bench press: 50 x 10; 65 x 8; 75 x 5 (PR on reps); 75 x 4; 75 x 0 (failed out in front of the club trainer and a client). thought about going down to 70 ... but then Gerry's voice spoke to me. 80 x 3 or 4 (can't remember -- blur). either way, a PR on db flat bench.
hammer strength incline: 98 x 10, 148 x 6, 158 x 4 (PR), 148 x 5
hammer strength dips: 234 x 10, 278 x 5, 6, 5
HS decline press: 234 x 6, 6
Press downs: 150 x 10; 170 x 8; 200 x 4, 5, 4
Overhead cable rope extensions; 130 x 10, 150 x 3 (failed and laughed)
Not a bad day for a fatty ... that's what I tell myself, at least. It's nice to FINALLY start seeing some real gains in chest. Now I just need to find a lifting partner so I can get some REAL real gains.
Oh ... and on another note ... I'm outgrowing my clothes.
Before I started lifting, I had a 15.5" neck. Less than a year ago, I got measured for a suit and was a 16/16.5" neck, 32/33" arms. Got measured for some shirts yesterday: 17.5" neck and 34/35" arms (because my shoulders are broader. I thought my old shirts were a little tight. LoL! I even tried a 17" x 32/33" shirt because I was in denial; but I couldn't cross my arms without it feeling like it was going to rip in the shoulders or choke me out.
So it looks like I'm officially an XL now. Don't even know what my chest measurement is; but the jacket I bought last year (which was a bit big) is fitting nicely now.
