Well today was my chest workout and it wasn't very good in my opinion. I wasn't really able to add much to my bench today. No idea why but I felt weak and pathetic on the bench. I got my workout finished and did 4 sets of 5 reps but still wasn't able to add anything to my bench. Nothing changed this week from last week except that I didn't do any dips and I had one extra set of the Barbell bench. I'm hoping that next week will be better for me and my weight, though I have never really done bench before a few months ago it bothers me that I'm only at 140lbs with my weight.
Flat Barbell Bench, 3 Sets, 5 Reps - 140lbs
Incline Dumbbell Press, 3 Sets, 5 Reps - 50lbs
That's pretty much today's workout. I'm really going to have to work my ass off at strengthening my bench. I think that maybe my technique is wrong and I should look into getting Alex to video record me so I can critique it like I did with my squat, that helped a lot. I want to be at least benching 250lbs by the time I finish school this upcoming summer.
On a side note, I made an order for a good amount of protein powders today from Supplements Canada. All in all, I got myself a 10lb bulk bag of Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard Whey, a 4.6lb tub of Optimum Nutrition Pro Complex, and a 2.48lb tub of Cytosport Muscle Milk in their Cookies and Cream flavor for a total of 17.1 lbs of protein powder, which I know will last me quite a while. I figure I'll use the Muscle Milk as a once in a while meal replacement shake protein powder and use my 10lbs of ON Whey for my pre and post workout shakes. The pro complex I'll take one serving of in the evenings an hour or two after dinner as it has a good amount of my daily requirements (see chart here) in it and 55g of protein per serving (only 2 scoops). Pro Complex has a slower stage of release in amino acids so I'll be getting protein while I sleep, I want to be constantly growing. After this week I really need to work on changing my diet as well. That means spending more time at home cooking myself good meals at home and packing much healthier, high protein lunches.
