I've been doing this new routine for my chest and I've made some amazing gains, but I want to make sure I'm going overboard. My girlfriend lifts with me and watches my form, and I never use weights that make me sacrifice form. Full ROM and everything, I just want to make sure I'm not overdoing anything, because I always feel amazing and exhausted but not overly exhausted after a workout. I'm mainly looking to lower my bf% but stay in the same weight range(150-160lbs), so i know how much i weigh will go up and down from month to month.
My weight varies every morning from 154 to 158 so I like to just go with the higher weight.
Age: 21
BF%: 8
Height: 5'7"
I usually track my macros/calories in a book so I'm new to tracking it on here. The couple of days I do have tracked are accurate. 1-2 cheat meals per week (cheat meals, not cheat days) and my cheats are mainly things like bread or sushi.
Incline Barbell Bench Press : 3 x 8 165#
Barbell Bench Press: 3 x 8 165#
Cable Flyes: 3 x 18 (6 front, 6 middle, 6 bottom per set) : 35,35,25#
Superset w/ Cable Crunches w/ Rope: 3 x 12 92.5#
Dips: 4 x 8 (+25lb weight belt)
Superset w/ Leg Raises: 4 x 8-12 10#
Decline Bench Press: 3 x 8 135# (My chest is normally shot by this point)
Superset w/ Planks: 3 x 60 secs + 1 foot up or 45# on my back
Skullcrushers w/ EZ Curl Bar: 4 x 8 65#
Close-Grip Bench Press w/ EZ Curl Bar: 4 x 8 80#
I work Core on chest day (As seen above) and Obliques on my back day with the same premise as above, super setting with non-powerlifts mainly because i try to keep my workouts from 60-90 minutes. I go very heavy on leg/shoulder day which is why I don't do abs on that day. I wanted to do a 6 day split but I'm a full-time student and full-time worker, so instead I do HIIT on my rest days and Sunday I do nothing.
I have some calipers that say my chest is 5.5%bf, abs 11% bf, and legs 5% bf (Where the instructions told me to measure.) I just want to know why my abs aren't shaping up like the rest of my body. I've been consistent for well over a year now and out of a year and a half I only missed 1 week of weight training(I was out of town so I had no gym, but I still worked out with just bodyweight)
As said before, I go as heavy as possible without sacrificing form, so whats the deal? :grumble:
