Avoided legs today. A little tenderness in my left glute and lower back. So it ended up being Chest Day. Which, is quite fitting for a Monday. Hit my basic pressing motions (shoulder press and then bench). Made sure I hit my 3-way Chest Flye superset for that pump. The Chest Flyes at various angles hit the chest muscle fibers top to bottom. I don’t particularly hit upper chest but I really like the (E) Hammer Strength Incline Chest Press. To add that extra level of intensity I used my Dirty 30s (bottom half, top half, full) reps. If you’re going to use machines use them to your advangtage.
