Good Workout. Stronger.

So today was just my 6 or 7th bench press workout.  My first couple days I decided to just do push-ups.  But then I decided to bench press.  It was worked out well so far.

Today I am stronger than I was on Monday.  I've been getting stronger each day.  I've been getting my strength back.  Some of it anyway.

Bench press 185 x 5
                    195 x 3
                    175 x 7,6, 5,5,5
                    170 x 7
V Grip pull-ups x 6, 4, 3,3,3

Only a couple light sets of leg extensions.  I need to work my legs though.

I felt it in my elbow at the top of the pull-up.

Looking forward to saturday afternoon's bench pressing.

My legs were weak/tired when I tried to do leg extensnions. And my lges need work. They are skinny and i can work my upper body much more intensely.  Too bad the leg press machine si gone.

Felt/feel it more in my left tricep. Uh oh.

Was weak doing V grip pull-ups. Could not do 1 overhand grip.

I felt good overall.
Felt strong on the incline presses. Did better than wed.

Yesterdays Workout

Incline Bench Presses  125 x 7, 135 x 4, 115 x 7,7, 125 x 5
Barbell Presses Behind the Neck  85 x 9, 7,7

My tricep felt better. Good. I was able to do presses.
Spine felt good. I was able to do presses behind the neck.

I joined the YMCA in December and Started Workingout with weights

So I joined to get my strength and some size back. Even with my spine and elbow like they were.

I made my first weeks workouts in december. Then missed a week. Then made all of last weeks.
And the 2 days this week.

I have felt good this week.

The first workouts I used the fly machine and it was not intense enough at all.

I usesd dumbells, too, and they were not intense for my arms or shoulders.

And the crunch seat is not intense enough either. You just pull the weight with your hands.

I am getting stronger and hope I can continue working out this year and get muscular and strong.
