Boring But Healthier Workout

Upper Body Workout

Performed: 10/8/2020

The workouts continue to keep progressing.  My joints are feeling more stable with each workout, which was a problem.  I am doing the pushups against a rail from a standing position to pump blood in and get some higher rep work.  These seem to be building up a lot of muscle and getting my pec tendons happier.  Having torn both pecs I need and like a lot of higher rep work to keep things feeling good.  In the future I think I will probably push the reps rather high on these just for general health purposes.  I don’t think they will do much for strength or growth past a point. 

Everything else is going rather fine in the workouts.  They are boring but I am noticing more muscle in the mirror so they are doing their job.  My lats are responding the band rows, but they  are starting to get really easy.  I am going to have to come up with something to bridge the gap between doing these and being able to do pullups.
