After you grind out your first 10, you may want to try and do your second set on an incline (feet on the ground, hands on a chair). It will be a lot easier, and allow you to continue to workout your chest beyond what you would do on the ground. :happy:

Hey Go Duke... It is important to log in your food intake daily otherwise you cheat and don't know how much.
