Workout #13 (Chest & back w/Bernard)

Tonight was the last of the 8 additional sessions I’d purchased with Bernard. But I am doing so good, and he’s been helping quite a bit, I decided to sign up for 8 more sessions. Since I’m meeting with him every 8-10 days now, these next 8 sessions should take me until close to March. By then, I think my routine will be grounded in cement and I will be able to go off on my own.

95 lbs on the chest press was a record for me, and though muscle fatigue set in on the inclined chest press, I came back and did 3 sets of 85 lbs on the declined chest press, which pleased me. It felt like a really good workout, and Bernard said that I was definitely getting stronger. My next workout with Bernard is a week from Thursday.

My next workout is tomorrow morning, cardio and some lower-body in prep for a full lower-body workout on Thursday.
