Today is Chest Day. Our workout routine will consist of:
Incline Bench Press (free weight)
Pectoral Fly (machine)
Wide Chest (machine)
Dumbbell Press (dumbbell)
Dumbbell Fly (dumbbell)
On my Incline Bench Press, my goal was to incline 35 lbs. on each side. I have completed that goal and now I will attempt to add 2.5 lbs. on each side and incline 37.5 lbs.
I do not add on weight unless I am able to lift without assistance. Once I lift this on my own, then I will add more to my weight.
Do not attempt this unless you have someone spotting you. Do not attempt this unless you are familiar in lifting dead weight.
When doing Wide Chest, again do not try to lift without assistance. My goal is to lift 85 lbs. on each side. I completed my last goal and lifted 82.5 lbs. without assistance. Once I have completed that lift, I will continue to add more weight.
Before I get into my workout routine I focus on what I will be lifting. Distraction is your worse enemy so stay Focused.
When I use dumbbells, I use a light weight for my warm up. Once I feel I am ready for my routine I focus on what I am going to do and am aware of the weight I will be using.
Since I will be doing dumbbell fly and dumbbell press, I am able to use 25 lb. dumbbells.
Keep in mind, you want to focus on form and isolation. The heavier weights you use the less reps you should be doing. The lighter weights you use, more reps should be done.
Don't be afraid to challenge yourself.....you'll be surprise what you are capable of doing.
Drink plenty of water when working out. Water is essential, your body is like a car radiator.....it will not be able to function unless it has water. Same as your body, you cannot function unless you drink plenty of water.
Have fun when you workout.....there are times when you think you haven't accomplished anything. You have accomplished.....YOU ARE HERE at the gym.
Remember to add the cardio after your workout routine......the cardio ties everything in with what you have accomplished today.
Stay Focus.......Don't rush your workout.......Breathe........NEVER GIVE UP.
Have a Great Workout....Good Luck.
