Chest and traps

Nothing too strenuous today; just 45 minutes of various bench presses, chin-ups, pull-ups and dips. 

I felt a bit unfocused today following Christmas Day over-eating and treats, plus two consecutive late nights (and I don't usually train on a Sunday, but I was bored!). Nutrition didn't go too far off the rails. When I ate a lot it tended to be healthy food - sweet potatoes and turkey - and the treats were Cheryl's chocolate cookies, which use pure chocolate with very little sugar or flour.

Rack bench press 3, 3, 3, 3, 3
120, 125, 130 (2), 130 (2), 130 (1)

Chin-ups 5, 5, 5, 5, 5
35, 40, 42.5 (4), 45 (3), 45 (2)

For time:
15 x dumbbell bench press @ 2 x 40 lb
30 x pull-ups

Time = 5:12 (PR = 6:29; November 25, 2010)

======

Amrap 12:
4 x dips
8 x push-ups

Rounds = 9 + 2 dips (PR = 8 rounds + 1 dip; November 25, 2010)

I'm quite pleased with the first PR, but the second one should be qualified by noting that the last time I did the dips and push-ups they were preceded by a challenging routine involving lots of pull-ups, chin-ups and push-ups.
