I trained chest and back today with my trainer. It was a good workout that consisted of circuits. The first circuit was bench press, resistance band rows and a cardio exercise. For the bench press, I increased the weight for each set and decreased the number of repetitions for the first 3 sets. I dropped the weight and increased the repetitions for the last 2 sets. I find it crazy how fast my chest gets tired. A small increase in weight makes it so difficult to push up the bar. It’s really tiring. I did 30 reps of the rows. For the cardio portion, I did jump squats on the PowerPlate for the first round. I then did split squats on PowerPlate for the second. I jumped over a bench for a minute for the third round. I did rope slams for the fourth round and ended the circuit with 2 minutes on the spin bike. The toughest was probable the split squats on the PowerPlate. I felt really uncoordinated!
The next compound set involved lat pull down and rows. I did 12, 12, and 15 reps of each exercise. My trainer really focused on my positioning to make sure I was doing the exercise correctly. I also had to squeeze for 3 seconds at the end of the movement. I ended with 2 sets of chest fly.
The work out really tired me out. I was in the fasting portion of my meal plan so I didn’t have as much energy as usual while working out. It felt really good to eat my biggest meal of the day right after my workout. Yummy in my tummy.
