The combination of chest and biceps makes for a tough morning. Earl and I start this morning with incline presses. I end up doing a total of 6 sets. The intent is to go as heavy as possible. I end up at 225 for 2 reps. My last set is a rep set at 185 for 5 reps. We then move immediately to flat bench dumbbell presses. We do a total of 3 sets of anywhere from 5-8 reps. Again the objective is to go as heavy as possible. I end up at 90lbs for 5 strong reps. Our last chest exercise is dips. We do three sets and each set to failure (anywhere between 15-20 reps).
We are going to start biceps with a supset sequence Earl and I have never done. We take a standard 45 lb. barbell and put 10lbs. on each side. We do 10 reps with a close grip, 10 more with a wider grip and then the last 10 with an even wider grip. Their is no rest between the reps. We do a total of 3 sets of this insanity. We then move to isolation curls. I grab 30lbs. and do each set to failure (15-17 reps). The last 4-5 reps are sloppy on form but the burn is intense. We do three sets of these. The last arm exercise is cable curls. I do 8 reps of 110-70 with no rest between sets.

Before we get started this week I want to provide a progress report. I currently weigh 173 lbs. and am down to 11% body fat.

I injured my right knee about 4 months ago so squatting has been out of my rotation for at least that long.

Earl and I will take a break from that this week and go heavy with few reps. Before we get to that it is time for chest. We have also been going heavy on chest over the past several weeks. Today we will shoot for higher reps and lighter weight.
