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.
