Up in the Club workin on my

Fitness.  I fought the good fight tonight.  Mondays, all across the US are the ubiquitous Chest and Triceps Day for every dude ever at every gym ever.  So, like all dudes at the gym on Monday, I did chest and triceps.

I don't know what the virtual girl in the photo has to do with working out, but it got your attention.  She is covering her chest. . .

Anyways, I asked my girlfriend and she said that she's attracted to chest and arms.  Which is ironic, because of all my body parts, my chest is probably the second worst.  My abs are my #1 problem area.

Don't get me wrong, I'm all fit with all the SUP Surfing I do.  Plus, I do a ton of other things at the gym and outside of the gym.  My Tanita body comp scale says so, too.  I'm rocking 168lbs and 9% fat.

I went onto the interwebs and found a pretty healthy amount of chest and tricep workouts.  I chose one that had chest split into five days.  No wonder there are dudes with chicken legs and huge chests at the gym.  I honestly never thought to break it into multiple days.

Since the multiple day thing isn't my bag, baby, I combined them.

Clayton's Chest and Triceps for SIZE workout for 4/1/13:

  • 15 min warm up

Have a good day and happy working out!
