Hi there. I created this blog to log my entire bodybuilding day to day routine between now and the Sping/Summer of this year. The purpose of the blog will be to show you exactly what I do to get in shape for the summer. Last summer, I dieted dow, but didn't log the experience, so I thought I'd show everyone who is interested how I go about my business in the next few months.
I've been nursing a sprained wrist, and really, I shouldn't even be in the gym these days while it heals, but like many people who workout religiously, I am too stubborn to let injuries just heal. Currently I can only do flying movements. So I went in and did some light chest work
As of today, I have trained:
Chest/Triceps/Shoulders. My routine was as follows:
Incline dumbbell flies:
15*20 KG
15*25KG
Working sets:
15*30KG
15*30KG
15*30KG (felt pretty difficult gripping the dumbbell and I eased off a lot on the reps after this set)
8*30KG
Pyramiding downwards:
20*20KG
20*14KG
The weight was pretty light in general, but I managed to get a good stretch and a decent feel in my chest at this point.
Standing cable flies:
I never really go heavy on cable flies, but this time I went with some moderate weight on the stack and did 100 odd reps. and 2 sets with abour 3 mins rest between. Had a massive burn at the end.
Knuckle Pushups:
4 sets of 20
I couldn't push myself at all on this, and was starting to feel my wrist flare up again so I stopped doing chest at this point.
Ended the workout with some abs:
Superset for abs:
25 reps on ab crunch with moderate weight
25 reps on cable crunches
25 reps hanging leg raises
3 sets
Triceps:
Rope pulldowns:
3 sets of 20 reps with movderate weight.
Only did rope pulldowns because it's the only movement that doesn't aggravate my wrist.
I don't monitor the weight too closely on the cable movements, but for the sake of the blog I will from now on.
Felt pretty bad (not in a good way at the end of the workout) because my training intensity took a pretty hefty knock, and I was mainly just doing high reps. I'm very concious of my wrist and try not to do anything that will put a big strain on it.
I'll go over my diet in the next blog post.
