Glen Rogers – Tuesday Training

Another day of working out and not really training. The lifting and head is feeling better but I still have to stay light. I hit 3×10 with 185 on bench trying to breathe every rep. It sucks cuz the weight feels light and I just want to pound the reps out but can’t because I get really light-headed, so I just take it easy. After bench press I did skull krushers and JM press. My triceps were killing me. This is actually the first time I did the JM press, and I liked it. I am going to include this in my programs from now on. Especially after skull krushers my tri’s were fried. I then did rows for 15 and face pulls for 15 on our homemade TRX handles. The last exercise I did was triceps pushdowns for 4×25.

No wonder why people like doing upper body only, it is easy. When you are sore your arms hurt a little bit but you can still get out of bed without pain. The problem is though, after years and years of only doing upperbody stuff, your legs become weak, fatigue easy, and eventually you will start having knee, hip, and back problems. If you think squatting is bad for your knees, talk to someone who actually knows how to squat correctly and you will realize you should have been doing them all along.
