Early Morning Chest Workout

For the first time in a few weeks I was able to rise at 6am and hit the gym by 7am for an early morning workout. With the extra time I jumped on the elliptical machine for a mile 10:00. I then stretched a bit, then went straight to the bench. Yeah yeah, usually I finish my day with bench but I changed up the routine a bit today to keep things fresh. I lifted 110, 130, 140 with reps of 15-12-10. I then did cable crossovers at the high, med, and low positions of 20-30. I then did dumb bell press of 40, 45, 50 with reps of 12-10-8. Next I hit the chest press machine for 80-95-110. Lastly, I hit the fly machine for 25-37.5-37.5 with reps of 10-8-6.

I was definitely tired this morning, but nonetheless I showed up and did the work.

Weight = 174 (8 pounds heavier than November 20th, when my skinny ass ran the Philly Marathon. Definitely feel healthier and a ton stronger than I did back then. My target is to stay under 178, yet still develop my muscles, keeping in mind that muscles weigh more than fat)
