Entry #403

ME upper-body

Bench press:
5 X 3
135, 185, 225, 265, 275 lbs.
Rather than make increase in the ultimate set, I raised the weight by 10 lbs. in the preceding one to create a more even increment. The rest time was shorter than usual.

Overhead dumbbell press:
2 X 8    1 X 4
80 lb. dumbbells

Seated dumbbell rows:
5 X 10
65 lb. dumbbells

Seated lateral raises:
3 X 8
30 lb. dumbbells

Abdominal circuit:
chop-crunches, reverse crunches, and leg raises
triple~setted
There were two brief but painful cramps from this. It felt like I had been stabbed. Chop-crunches are brutal.
