Just as I anticipated, I am very sore today! Not only are my legs sore, but my entire back is sore from shouldering the heavy loads on the squats. This morning I was not only feeling the soreness, but I also still felt fatigued from yesterday’s leg training session.
As Tricia and I started warming up for the bench press I was feeling some pain in my left pec. After I got a few sets under my belt it pretty much went away. I’m wondering if it’s from supporting the bar on squats. Or, maybe it’s being caused by the spasms that are going on all over my back! Whatever the case, the first few sets of bench felt horrible. After I got warmed up well I started feeling pretty strong and had an excellent chest workout. For quite a while now I’ve been throwing in a few sets of curls after my chest workout. Today I dropped the curls because we are going to do our back workout tomorrow and I want my biceps to be fresh for the pulls. I did, however, do four sets of DB lateral raises after chest today. I got a really great pump in my medial deltoids with just 4 sets. I’m going to continue with the “bonus” lateral raises on chest day. I think this technique helped my biceps considerably this year.
