Today was a chest workout for me. I wanted to stay along the same lines as the chest session I performed last weekend: mainly press-up based with a very slow tempo, rep ranges 8-12reps. However, due to a client being just over 30mins late, I decided to split the session: half gym based, half outdoor press-up based in the sun. Both session were very slow tempo and in the rep range 10-12 with short rests of 45-60secs. The first part was performed at 2.30-3pm and the second half 5-6pm.
The sessions looked like:
Part 1:
Warm-up: light bench press slowly increasing weight.
- Bench press. 3 sets. 5050. 10-12reps
- Dip. 3 sets. 5050. 8-10reps
- High cable cross over. 3 sets. 5050. 8-10reps
- Low cable cross over. 3 sets. 5050. 8-10reps
Part 2:
- 45 degree on press-up stands. 3sets. 4040. 12reps.
- Parallel shoulder width on press-up stands. 3sets. 4040. 12reps.
- Guillotine on press-up stands. 3sets. 4040. 12reps.
- Close grip on press-up stands. 3sets. 4040. 12reps.
