Set up the leg press for tomorrow at 0300.
So the modernization of my training continues and I’ve worked to incorporate a common piece of feedback raiding my chest day; the absence of a pressing movement. I’ve long and shifted away from flat bench as I found that to be dominated by my triceps and front delts, both of which were overdeveloped by my early equipment limitations. That said, diversity in movements is important and I know my EVO brothers are correct in suggesting a pressing movement.
Enter the incline press, easily doable in my home setup and I found it really took a lot of the tricep out and shifted the tension more into the chest/front delt. The AMRAPs with partial ROM also really lit up the chest and will now be a regular in my chest days. Volume was definitely quite high today and will be reduced as the weights climb up.
This will be one of the final posts on this log as a wrap up as owing to the very fast processing and shipping, my new log with Team Oxygen will begin this week.
