First workout of the New Year

BWT 302#

Quite a bounce in my weight, mainly the result of eating out every day for the past week. The only positive is that my arms are taping out at 18.5" flexed, so I certainly haven't lost any muscle. I have started my new diet plan today, which should help me lose a pound or two a week of fat, with less dehydration than I was previously experiencing. Let us see if I can drop weight and make some size and strength gains from my lifting.


Max Effort Behind the neck press: 140#x3 160#x3 180#x3 200#x0

I did these seated with the pins set to mouth level. These were a bit harder than I expected.

Cable curl: 90#x7x7x8x9x10

Concentration curl: 40#x10x10x10x8 40#x8-30#x5-20#x5

The last set was done as a drop set with the weight being decreased as you hit failure. I am going to try really pounding my biceps to try to get them to catch up with my triceps and delts.

Incline Press: 225#x1/2/3/1/2/3/1/2/3

Easy ladder.

Rack Pull: 430#x3 450#x3 470#x3 490#x3

Tonight I will do the planned stretching and grip work.
