It has been raining for the past few days. Nay pouring. All normal life has been thrown out of gear. So has my gym life. At the start of this week, I made a grand plan of working out twice a day. Weight training in the morning and Cardio in the evening. Monday morning did some weight training and was all geared up for cardio in the evening before the rains set in by evening. I struggled to get home after 3 odd hours and had no energy to go for the evening session. On Tuesday morning I again woke to rain and had to miss the morning session that I had planned.
At this point I decided that come what may, I am not skipping an evening session. As fate would have it, the rains began and I got wet while getting back. Did that dampen my spirit, No Sir it didn't. I went to the gym to work out my chest.
This is what I did ,
1. Warm - Up ---- 3 x 15 sets of push - ups
2. Pec - Delt Flyes (Machine) ---- 4 x 15 sets
3. Seated Bench Press (Machine) ---- 3 sets ( 1 x 15, 1 x 12, 1 x 10 )
4. Decline Bench Press (Machine) ---- 4 sets ( 1 x 18, 1 x 15, 1 x 12, 1 x 10 )
5. Flat Bench Press (Machine) ---- 5 sets ( 1 x 15, 1 x 12, 1 x 10, 1 x 8, 1 x 3 )
6. Incline DB Press ---- 3 x 15 sets
7. Flat Flyes ---- 4 x 15 sets
I know, I know some of you people out there will look at this and say this is "overkill", I have done way too many exercise etc etc. But I am firm believer in volume training as a philosophy and believe that volume training combined with good eating is an excellent way to keep fit. Anyway back to the work-out, so from above you guys can see that I did about 25 or 26 sets of chest exercises (which I completed in about an hour). Lifted a reasonably good amount of weight, and felt sufficiently beat by the end of the work-out.
I guess what made yesterdays work-out awesome was the face that, I have been a little irritated these paste few days, have been ill as well. The rains making matters worse. I guess I was just glad to be working out again.
Also after a long time, I felt like lifting a ton of weight. I bench pressed 360 lbs after ages and felt good. I still had it in me to lift that much. That's what I guess made the work-out truly awesome !!!!
