I am working on pictures my problem is that I feel like every picture I have on facebook is a party picture or really old and I also do not own a digital camera because I am lightyears behind technology, but I may be able to do it on my phone. This weekend I should have some time to look at all of this. I will get them I promise!

No sweat! All my pictures from my college years look like party pics too

Still no pics but here is todays workout. Today was a DE bench day but I decided to go with a repetition day to try to shock some growth into my chest. I am planning on doing two weeks of Speed Benches and then one day of repetition bench. These workouts really wear out my chest and tris but I thoroughly enjoy them. So here it is!

Cambered Bar Bench
185x8, 225x8,7,7, 185x11
I did not go any deeper than parallel but I feel like using this bar really hits my chest good and gets a good stretch.

Incline Dumbell Press Palms facing in
70sx8, 80x5,4, 70x6

Cable fly 2x12 60 pounds each side

Lying Dumbell Tri extension
35x5, 30x7,25x9,9
Triceps were fried from the rep work but I went with lighter weight and perfect form

Dumbell Row
110x12,12,11,9
these felt awesome

Elbows out Tri Extension
40x10,8,7

Pullups 3xfailure wide grip
8,7,5
Back and forearms were very tired at this point in my work out but I still pushed out a few good reps.

Overall a really good workout, felt strong and I am going to have some serious soreness tomorrow!!

Nothing wrong with throwing in RE days. More then a few powerlifters use then. My favorite of all time, Bill Kazmaier, trained like a BB-er

Great workout Jwood, and thanks for your kind words about MAB in the intro thread.

I used to do step ups until I was blue in the face, but I never performed them with dumbbells. You have given me a "must try" idea. Thanks!

They sound like they would be great for the legs and butt.

I love doing step ups they really hit the quads and the butt nicely and when you add a little weight they get really difficult really quickly 80 pound dumbells in each hand were a killer and just holding the weight also tears up your forearms!! Great exercise

You have me psyched for my next leg day. At the end of my workout, I am going to superset step-ups and higher rep squats.

Ah, yeah - I won't be joining the step-up club. I like having the ability to walk.

Great log, btw.
