Day 23

Today was chest day. I am still successful at performing new exercises (except abs) each day. I am not certain how long I will be able to do this without repeating, but it has been nearly 30 solid days without a single repeat so hopefully there will be no plateaus in my future. Today's regimen:

Strength Training

• Bench press - 135 Ibs (smith), 8-8-8 reps/set
• Incline bench press - 95 Ibs (smith), 8-10-12 reps/set
• Decline chess press - 60 Ibs (machine), 10-12-15 reps/set
• Incline shoulder raise - 25 Ibs (dumbbell, simultaneous), 15-15-15 reps/set

Abs

• With 8 Ibs medicine ball, begin with knees bent inwards towards stomach while lying flat on your back. Hold the medicine ball on your legs for 10 seconds, then straighten your legs while holding the medicine ball a few inches off the ground. Repeat two more times.
• Abdominal twists with 8 Ibs medicine ball

Repeat the circuit a total of 3 times.

Cardio

• 28 minutes on the Crossramp

Additionally, today was the first day back at my old gym in CA. I also visit the gym at night where I spend 10 minutes in the sauna, 10-15 minutes in the hot tub, then I sometimes stretch in the pool and shower. It's a great way to end the day.

Not sure what tomorrow's workout will entail--I'll keep you posted.

Until then..
