On the down wave this week so the weights where not tough but honestly this movement is currently feeling like my weakest out of the big three. It will be interesting to see how it goes next week when I start to push heavier weight.
I did something a little different with my narrow grip pullups today. Instead of doing sets of 8 with my bodyweight, I did sets of 5 but it was 1 explosive rep rest 5 secs another explosive rep rest 5 secs continue until 5 reps complete.
Close grip bench press was done with the feet up on the bench, shifting all the stress to the upper body to complete the lift. Reps where all slower on the eccentric portion (down) and explosive on the concentric (up). Did this one mainly for my triceps and to see how the shoulders would react.
The incline work with the dumbbells felt good but I'm feeling it on my left shoulder. I'm picking a good weight that I can do 10 reps with for all 5 sets. The sets gets progressively harder to complete and you're not crushing yourself on the accessory work but still feeling IT.
