Low Incline Flys - 25x10, 50x10 (Up 1 rep)

Dips - BWx8, 6, BW 75x5 (Up 10 pounds, down 5 reps because the dip station was moved and now it’s ridiculously unstable, it was wobbling all over the place)

LOL actually, when I got to my heaviest set, all the kids in the weight room stopped what they were doing, and stared at me. One kid was like ‘na… that’s impossible,’ and some of the girls’ volleyball team happened to come in to get a drink while I was doing it. Yeah, they’re high school kids, but was still awesome, because I’m used to here where there’s guys waaay stronger.

You stay clear of those high school girls.
Eh, nevermind your young enough…

Chest/Tris

Decided to replace bench press with decline bench, get some heavier weights going. Also for tri’s, dips are out of the question now, the dip station is soo wobbly and I can’t make it level. So for tri’s on Monday I’ll be doing lighter stuff, rope extensions and pushdowns.

Decline Bench Press - 135x15, 185x8, 225x3, 275x8 (Not bad for not doing it in probably 8 months)

Incline HS - 140x10, 230x5, 320x8

Skipped Low-Incline Flies because my shoulder was feelin a little weird.

Overhead extensions with rops - 30x10, 50x10, 60x12

Rope Pushdowns - 40x10, 60x10, Then a drop set.

Back Thickness

Rack Pulls - 135x12, 225x6, 315x5, 475x2, 565x5 (Up 1 rep)

Seated Row - 100x12, 160x5, 220x15 (Up 1 rep)

Different Shrug Machine - 90x12, 180x10, 270x14

And some grip stuff

Back Width/Bis

Pulldowns - 90x12, 130x5, 190x13 (Up 1 rep)

Rack Chins - x12, x10, x9 (not sure about these, I’ll try em for a bit)

Pullovers - 35x10, 55x16 (Up 2 reps)

DB Curl - 25x10, 40x5, 55x9 (Up 1 rep)

Hammer Curls - 45x8, 65x14

And a preacher curl machine drop set

And weight: 208.5 ( 2.5 [in 2 weeks, I didn’t weigh last week]). That makes over 30 pounds so far!

Ahhhh I’m not sure about that 220 lol. I think I’m just going to keep bulking until either beginning of January, or beginning of February, depending on how I’m feeling.

Shoulders

HS Shoulder Press - 90x14, 180x5, 220x11 (Up 2 reps)

Rope Pushdowns - 30x10, 40x5, 50x14, then a drop set

BB Curl - 45x15, 95x5, 145x6 (Up 10 pounds, -4 reps… this felt really heavy)

Pinwheels - 50x8, 75x15 (Think I’m going to move hammer curls here and move pinwheels to tuesday with back thickness, since I’ll be at the other gym with the heavier dumbbells)

Then a preacher machine drop set

I think we need a video of those CGB and curls

lol I really have nothing to take a video with, my cell phone is even too shitty. I will say the 145 pound barbell curl I had to cheat on a lot more than the 135, and my close-grip isn’t all that close, so it’s not as impressive as it sounds.

I think shoulder width is ideal for CGB for hitting the tri’s, I was reading it somewhere
maybe an article here
