The gym was good today, although I'm on a 3 day streak which is more good than bad: therefore tomorrow will be a 100% rest day. Although I may do a few pushups/crunches just to remind my body of what it's trying to accomplish.
I'm not sure if I went over my short term goals, I think so. Regardless, I'm back up to 55lbs, and this is with multiple sets/reps, meaning I'm pretty solid with moving onto the 65lbs+ region. My goal is 70lbs each dumbell, then to 95lbs, and maybe capping it at 105lbs as to not look wholly ridiculous.
As far as today, I did 4 sets of incline benching on 45lbs and 4 sets of decline benching on 45lbs, therefore working my upper and lower chest. I did my middle Sunday AND Monday so I think it's ok to take a break one day for something else.
Now my focus in the gym is my chest, probably the most underdeveloped part of ny body, so I figure, let's OVERdevelop it so that it can catch up to everything else. Now even though it's the focus, I didn't JUST bench press today, between each bench set, I often throw in side exercises to compliment it. In this case, it consisted of: lat bar pull down (underhand close and overhand wide), cable rope pull down, pull ups, dumbell chest lifts, machine chest flys, elevated pushups, and one or two sets of dumbell curls. OH! I also used the medicine ball. All in all good inbetween stuff, yet I need new exercises I have yet to try. Remember the name of the game here is RANDOM. Doing the same ol usual will not help me break plateaus.
Ideas anyone? Ugh. I wish I had a workout partner in cases like this. Someone who was obviously more in shape than I, so that I can learn from him and not just end up training some skinny bitch who's real goal is to attack me in the locker room. Ch.
Regardless, here are a few pics taken from today after the workout:
If anyone wanna take pics of me too, that would be great. I'm tired of blocking my body when I hold the camera in the mirror. So currently looking for a nysc workout partner and photographer.
P.S. I mentioned a belt to help you lose (water) weight in my last post right? Well it's official! That shit works and is amazing!! To be clear, I never sweat... Ever. Unless I'm a hot room for eternity... Or dancing with ppl of color. But this belt, it causes me to sweat while I lift!! Not cardio, just simple weight lifting. In fact, today it made me sweat so much that the excess sweat come from the btm of the belt and soaked the front of my pants and the bottom of my wifebeater!! Dude, it looked like a total "I had an accident" moment, which tells me that this product means business, and it was a simple $15 purchase at Modells!! Who knew!!!
Everyone looking to lose weight should go get one!!
That's all for now. Lata. Next time I'll mention the 23 supplements I'm taking. Lol which inspired the title of this post. Lol. Ttally missed the real topic. Oh well! till next time!!
