Entry #28
Lats and abs:


Seated barbell press -- 5 sets; 15, 12, 6, 6, 8 reps


Smith-machine upright row -- 3 sets; 6, 6, 8 reps


Bent-over barbell raise -- 3 sets; 8, 8, 8 reps


Compound Sets


Lateral barbell raise -- 2 sets; 6, 8 reps


Front barbell raise -- 2 sets; 6, 8 reps


Decline bench weighted crunches -- 4 sets; 12, 12, 12 reps


Decline bench reverse crunches -- 4 sets; 12, 12, 12 reps


Increased the weight on overhead press to two 60 pound barbells
--120 pounds in all (on the 6 reps). Weighted crunches were torture,
definitely need to keep those up and possibly increase the weight from
two 25 pound plates on my chest to perhaps three next time, along with
reducing the reps from 12 to 8. Just a possibility. I've never had good
results with high reps for any weight-training exercise. It will be
interesting to experiment with this for my abs.


Tomorrow I'm going to monitor my calories for the whole day; my goal
is 4,000 calories or over. If it's less, I'll have to eat more in the
future. If it's more, I'll also eat more in the future.
