Chest & Shoulders 10/25/2025

I worked out my chest and shoulders today. The workout was fantastic. I decided to change things up and used the cables for bench presses. This exercise is more challenging when done alone, as I was working out solo today. Here’s the workout I did:

  • Seated cable bench: 3 sets to failure. I have lifted a lot more for this exercise but since the reps were higher I knew it wold be less weight. It was great.
  • Seated cable fly: 3 sets to failure. I focused on the deep stretch for these. It was good.
  • 11° Low inclinde DB chest press: 3 sets to failure.
  • Cable decline press focused on the squeeze: 2 sets to failure and with a superset to hammer chest press on the second set.
  • Smith standing OH press: 3 sets to failure.
  • Superset: True side lateral + pec deck reverse fly 3 sets to failure.
  • Face pulls: 3 sets to failure.
  • Seated db side laterals: 3 sets to failure.
  • Elliptical for 20 minutes.

The pump from this workout was fantastic, and I felt it deeply in my deltoid and chest muscles.

My body weight this morning was 186.0 pounds.

My step count yesterday was 15,270.
