Summary:
Bench Press: My bench press ended up hitting about 6 total sets, the first three I'd consider "warm-ups" due to their ease. The last three sets (145x3, 155x3, 165x3) started to get difficult. On my final set, I really had to push to get that final rep out. For a second there I didn't think I'd get it. 165 matches my PR. I've never really been much of a bencher. I preferr the squats and deadlifts.
Incline DB Press: My 3 sets (30'sx8, 40'sx8, 45'sx8) were much like the bench. My goal is to add weight each set, increasing the difficulty with each.
Dips: On this single set of dips, my wrist injury really took its toll. However, I had to grin and bear it, seeing as how I'm sure it's nothing more than pain. I dealt with it on my bench, and I was going to deal with it again.
Skull-Crushers: Assuming the bar weighed 15lbs, my sets came out to be 120x8, 130x8, 135x8. On that last set, my elbows began to flare out, and it took quite a bit of effort to keep them in. My triceps didn't really FEEL like they were going, but I could definitely tell they were giving out.
Pushups:I only could muster out 5 reps of close grip pushups. I guess my workout was more effective than I thought so.
So here I am, 4 hours later, and I must say, my chest/triceps are shot. Pushing off anything, adjusting my shorts, etc. is relatively difficult right now. My workout was quicker than I wanted, due to time constraints, so it was completed in about 45 minutes. Generally I'll take closer to an hour to get my workouts finished.
Diet: This was a huge problem for me today. Nothing at home, and no cash on me, I ate breakfast (bowl of cereal) and due to my mother being intent on house shopping, I had to settle for taco bell after my workout. Less than ideal, I know. This is DEFINITELY something I need to work on.
