On the flip side chest and triceps went great for the most part. I did
Warm up
Rear delt fly machine 2x15
Pull-ups 2x12
Dips 2x20
I like to warm up my shoulders really good before I do any sort of pressing movements or pretty much any chest workout.
Workout
Incline dumbbell press 3x15 65lbs 4x10 at 75 lbs and 1 set of 80s for like 8 just for fun.
Incline dumbbell flys
Started with 25lbs 3x10 and moved to 35 for 3x15
Dumbbell flys 30 lbs 3x8
Incline bench I did 2 sets of 12 at 185 lbs. I am honestly much stronger than this but I'm scared to go too heavy so this is what I did. I can hit the Dumbbells heavy but the barbell hates my shoulders now.
Tricep push downs 2x12 at 180 lbs and 4 sets of 10 at 280lbs.
Finished it off with some body weight chest dips. I usually do them weighted but I was way too fatigued today, did like 6 with 25lbs on before I said fuck this and took the belt off.
2 sets of dips to failure, probably hit around 18-20 first set then definitely 20-25 reps the 2cd set.
Chest and tricep days are probably the hardest for me, not only do I have to be very careful to keep my shoulders healthy but I also have to figure out how to work hard enough to make gains. I feel like I know what I'm doing very well in the gym excluding this area.
For chest development I'm basically relying on dips, Incline press and dumbbell flys. Non of them seem to be able to do the job like some good ole heavy bench used to do.
