Chest & Shoulders 9/24/2025

We had a great workout today. I started with a weight that was too heavy on a couple of exercises but still finished strong. I think the smith press destroyed my chest. The workout:

  • Incline smith bench: 3 sets to failure. This was excellent. The 1st set was in the 6 to 7 rep range, than I took the weight down for the next two sets and kept it in the 10 to 12 range.
  • Seated machine press: 1 failed set after 1 rep then did a second set to failure in the 8 rep ragne with less weight.
  • DB Low incline press; I did it again here .. went to heavy on the 1st set then did 2 more to failure.
  • True chest press; 2 sets to failure.
  • Pec Deck: 3 sets sets to failure with a focus on the deep stretch.
  • Hammer OH Press: 3 sets to failure.
  • Superset: Cable fly and rev fly: 2 sets to failure.
  • Elliptical for 20 minutes.

This was more volume than normal but the pump was worth it. Felt great.

My body weight this morning off .. maybe a scale issue? It was 184.2 pounds.

My step count yesterday was 15,544.
