    I used to be too concerned about the weight I'm pushing to but now it's so important to stay injury free. I'm concentrating on doing as heavy as I can safely without risking further injury (back injury it knocked me out of my prep for the Nationals in October)

    When you're on stage the judges don't know how much weight you push they just critique your physique. True you need heavy basic exercises to build quality muscle IMO it's not worth the risk to try and push what I used to.

    Keep up the great training!!

    Thanks for the encouragement guys! I agree staying injury free is the most important thing, can't train if you're hurt! I almost didn't compete last summer because of a lower back/hip problem that really hampered my leg training thoughout my prep.

    Heavy (for me) chest day

    bench press
    135x10,185x6,225x6,245x2,285x4,4,3

    incline benchpress
    135x4,225x7,4,5

    Hammer Strength decline
    3 plates per side x 5,5

    hanging leg raises 3 sets of 12

    cable crunch
    120x10,8

    My bench sucks compared to a few yrs back but I really feel it with slow neg's and controlled reps.

    Do you do only pressing movements on your heavy chest day like this workout or are you like me where you just mix it up and hit your chest from many angles on any given day?

    Mostly I just stick to compound exercises. I don't get alot from isolation movements. I have been using cables some lately on my lighter days, it does make it more interesting.

    When I work chest I usually will do two compound movements and two iso movements. But the iso movements are mostly db flyes at different angles. I'm really not into cable work for my chest until precontest when I incorporate it a little more.

    Ever go into you're workout with full intentions of squating and find that its just not a good idea on that particular day? Thats what happened to me today. I was going though my usual warmup and on the second set with 225 my lower back just didn't feel right. So I went on to the leg press.....

    Nautilus incline leg press
    400x10,490x10,580x10,670x18,760x15,940x10,400x25

    My legs were really pumped and hurting at this point plus no back strain! I thought about hack squating but I ended up migrating back over to the squat rack for some front squats.

    front squat
    135x10,225x10,275x6,6,5

    These felt great really loaded my quads without overloading my lower back. I've been doing them some on this training cycle anyway.

    finished with 3 sets of leg curls
    90x8,105x6,6

    Legs were trashed so I managed to salvage the day and still get in a good leg workout!

    I haven't supersetted biceps and triceps in a long time. I'll have to give it a try soon I do remember the huge pumps in the arms too when I did it!

    Yeah, I enjoy working opposing muscle groups on occasion. Make for a faster workout too.
