TUESDAY 16TH JUNE 2015 – CHEST SESSION

Posted on by simonscholes in Blog

So, it was chest fun this morning. Just went for major repave. So much so, I forgot to keep a note of how many reps and sets I did this morning. I can honestly say though with seated incline, smith incline, flat bench, cable flyers low, cable flyers high and tricep chest based push downs I completed about 10 sets on each exercise.

We didn’t go too high on the weights, mainly because we where knackered but we kept the intensity high and hard.

Sometimes, it’s not about the numbers but more about getting the session out in the first place.

Do you always keep a copy of what you’ve done in the gym session wise?

It is wise to do so obviously, so you can see improvements etc, but sometimes, well it’s just not that simple, like with my session today.

Training 27th May 2015

Posted on by simonscholes in Blog, Sport

As it was a bank holiday weekend we missed our usual Monday international chest session day. This meant we moved the session to Wednesday AM and after a shoulder session on Tuesday we knew this would be a difficult session.

Essentially it was like doing a pre exhaust exercise before the main compound movements.

So we cracked on, and I was frankly in bits.

Inclined Dumbell Chest Press: 4 x 8 @ 35kg Flat Dumbell Bench Press: 4 x 8 @ 35kg 1 x 8 @ 30kg 1 x 8 @ 25kg 1 x 8 @ 20kg 1 x 10 @ 17.5kg Cable Flyes: 1 x 12 @ 12.5kg 1 x 10 @ 15kg 1 x 6 @ 17.5kg 1 x 15 @ 10kg

Finish off with some core:
Machine crunch 5 x 15 @ 55kg
Roll Outs 2 x 10
Weighted Cable rope crunch 3 x 20 @ 55kg

After doing this session we’ve decided to move our shoulder session to Mondays and chest to Tuesday. The main reason being is it not only shakes up our sessions a little and keeps the body guessing, but, we also found the weight wasn’t needed to get a good pump as the shoulders where out of the equation when it came to lifting, hence why the weights where kept so low.
