Well, I just got back from the gym. I was not expecting what happened today!!
When I got there I wasn't feeling that good about myself this morning, felt weak and thin!!! That happens sometimes I guess, but today it made me a bit mad. So, I trained even harder on Bi's, which felt good, did some heavy hammer curls, cable preachers, and concentration curls. Felt a bit better about myself at that point. I went on to do chest, started off ok, was doing some wide grip chest. After my warmup set, decided to punish myself and go a bit heavier than usual. So by my third set I was up to 290lbs. Was able to squeeze out 12 reps. Then I was just going to go up another 20 lbs. BUT, One of the guys I had met there, all 315lbs of him, came over and said don't wimp out and that he had seen my last set, told me to take off the 35 lb plates and put 2 more 45's on each side!!! Well I thought that he was nuts, but he wouldn't back down from it and egged me on so I figured, WTF might as well. I am sitting there getting ready for my set, thinking about it with 405 lbs on there, then out of nowhere, I felt a bit of a rage come on and said NOW!!! Well, 8 reps plus 2 forced reps later I was done the set and found myself a bit stupified!!! Felt good though. Finished of the wide grip with 310 lbs for another 8 reps!!! After the workout, I am feeling it, but I am also more pumped(mentally)then ever. I also didn't feel thin and weak anymore!!! Needless to say, I am a bit surprised! So bring on shoulders and back tomorrow!!!
BB as for your only doing 155 on close grip, I wouldn't worry as much about that. For me Close grip has always been an isoloation burn. I do three sets at the end of my chest workout with the last set being a drop weight set and concentrate on getting as much blood into the area as I can. I am usually only doing about 135 lbs and squeezing like crazy till I can't even do 50 lbs anymore, that ends my chest workout!!
