A Change in my Bicep Routine.

Last week was one of those weeks. After a kick a** flat bench workout on Monday it was straight down hill. First I had meetings in the morning on Tuesday and Friday. Next the starter in my truck went so I had to spend Wednesday morning fixing that. To top it all off I can down with a cold that had me out of commission on Thursday. This all added up to a really crappy week for working out. I don’t remember the last time I only hit the gym one day out of the whole week. It is sure good to have things back to normal and be back in the swing of things.

I’ve decided to mix up my bicep routine a little bit. Instead of starting off with straight bar curls, I switched to preacher curls. I feel I’ve been cheating the weight to much over the past couple of works out with straight bar curls. I’m worried that I’m cheating myself and not getting the most out of the exercise that I should be. I think that the preacher curl will be a great exercise to really isolate my bicep and give me a great pump.

Today was my first day with the preacher curls. I kept the format the same as with the straight bar curls. The number of sets and reps are the same, just a different exercise. Here are the weights that I worked with today:

warm up: - 45/ 17 - 55/ 8 - 65/ 6
1st: - 95/ 10
2nd: - 100/ 7
3rd: - 105/ 5
4th: - 110/ 4
5th: - 115/ 2
6th: - 120/ 1

Next week I'll be going up five pounds. I'll be starting my first set with 100.


That’s it for today. As always, I look foreword to your feedback!!
