I did it! Day 1 is complete! This was a push day, so I worked out my pecs and triceps to failure, then finished everything off with a pretty intense 11 minutes on the stair machine.
I would have wanted to do another exercise to isolate the triceps besides the skullcrushers, but I'm still pretty satisfied with what I did today. I suppose between the other bench exercises, I've probably worked out the triceps enough.
Here's what I did:
Bench Press
- 10 reps of the bar (~45 pounds)
- 10 reps of the bar + 2x10lbs
- 11 reps of the bar + 2x25lbs almost to failure
- 4 reps of the bar + 2x45lbs to failure
Barbell Skullcrushers
- 8 reps of 40lbs to failure
- 6 reps of 40lbs to failure
Lower Pec Cable Fly
- 12 reps of 2x17.5lbs
- 7 reps of 2x22.5lbs to failure
- 5 reps of 2x27.5lbs to failure (I was super fatigued after this set)
Incline Bench Press
- 10 reps of the bar
- 10 reps of the bar + 2x10lbs to failure
- 5 reps of the bar + 2x15lbs to failure
Cardio
- 11 minutes on the stair machine
- 4x40sec "sprints" spread out across those 11 minutes

I finished day #2 about 3 hours ago but I'm too tired so I'll just post the blog tomorrow. I haven't given up on the challenge! Special circumstances came up
