B-2-Chest and Biceps (3)

More and more gains to round out this week of weight training workouts.

I went heavier with each successive set on the slight incline barbell press and finally, for the last working set, I was able to achieve another personal best of 225 lbs. for 6 reps.! (I once struggled to lift 6 at 185 lbs. during the first wave of these workouts)

The gains didn't stop there as I bested last weeks' weight and reps in the incline dumbbell press as I was able to beat the prescribed rep ranges and achieve a personal best of 80 lbs. for 11 reps. for the inclines.

The rest of the workouts' numbers remain the same but definitely encouraged by the gains across the board this week!
