Thu., 04/30/15, Upper Body

Verse of the day: But I am afraid, lest as the serpent deceived Eve by his craftiness, your minds should be led astray from the simplicity and purity of devotion to Christ. -2 Cor. 11:3

I got in a great pump this morning. I threw in a few different exercises to target my week points. The focus, again, for me is on upper chest, upper back and shoulders. I always start with upper chest and I feel I get the best focus in the muscle with incline dumbbell presses- so that was the start. Next I just hit 1 hard set of dips, but rather than my lower reps, here I did 20. After that, I started back with 1 arm dumbbell rows, and finished it off with just 1 set of Free Motion pull downs. With chest and back finished up, I went on to shoulders: seated dumbbell presses and high rope pulls. I finished the weights with bi's and tri's: cambered bar curls and seated rope extensions super-set... Boom! That's it. I keep getting comments about how low the volume is and how can you get a good arm pump with only 1 exercise. But I have been fully pump by the time I finish. The goal is to stimulate maximum muscle growth while still being able to recover. The recovery is HUGE. I have been destroying the muscle for years, but have not been able to recover enough to grow. This new approach seems to be working well. I am slowly increasing size and strength without putting on a ton of fat.
