Curveball Chest, Biceps and Getting a Grip

Just before my weekly day off I stepped out and did some different stuff for chest and biceps day. One thing that you may have caught onto is the fact that I hit my biceps, but not too hard. The biceps are a very aesthetically pleasing set of muscles, but isn't the most functional. I do however work on my grip strength every other day. Whether that is with the Captains of Crush grip trainers, wrist roll-ups or fat bar work. Grip strength is one of the more functional, everyday muscle groups that everyone can use more of.

Today's quote is from Lewis Black:

"When a country wants television more than they want clean water, they've lost their grip."

Workout: Chest and Biceps
Running the Rack, One set of 10 dumbbell chest presses with weights starting at 90lb. and descending in 5lb. increments down to 10lb. (90, 85, 80, 75, etc.)
Captains of Crush Grip Trainers (Trainer, #1, #2), One set of 10 repetitions between each set of chest presses. Start with the Trainer set one, #1 set two, #2 set three, Trainer set four, #1 set five, etc.
Bench Press with Resistance Bands, Three sets of 10 repetitions
Fat Barbell Curls, Three sets of 10 repetitions
Abdominal Crunches, 100 repetitions

Have a Great Day!
