Chest Monday

Hello! Today I worked out my chest and tris. My tris are probably my weak spot, so I'm really trying to hit them hard and work on sculpting them. My workout was:

• Bench Press 4X10-12
• I gradually increased weight, with the last set going heavy then removing 25% of the weight and going until failure
• 30 sec rest
• Incline Machine 4X10-12
• Same as bench press
• 30 sec active rest - high knees
• Decline Bench Press 4X10
• 30 sec active rest - jumping jacks
• Dumbbell Fly 4X10-12
• 30 sec active rest - kickbacks
• Superset 4X
1. Standing Cable Fly X12
2. Bench Dip with Stability Ball until failure
• Superset 4X8
1. Skull Crusher 
2. Close Grip Barbell Press
• I alternated these.. 1 skull crusher and then 1 close grip barbell press
• Once I couldn't do any more skull crushers, I did the close grip presses until failure
• Rope Pulldowns 4X until failure
• I do it heavy but not too heavy. I like to do a lot of reps and really feel the burn
• 20 mins HIITs on treadmill

There you have it! I am a big fan of active rest because it keeps your heart rate up, thus burning more calories. I don't do it on leg days though because I need the energy to really push heavy. The dips and the close grip press really help with size, while the pull downs help with cutting. I recovered with BCAAs and a protein shake (one scoop of whey). I have to start making dinner so that's all for now!
