for 15 seconds before putting the weight back down to the stack.
Barbell Preacher Curls (maximum set)
No rest - that's almost killing me. I will use 180 lbs. Wow - my biceps look huge this time. Six reps is all I can handle.
Barbell Preacher Curls (minimum set)
Next time I will really calculate the weights before starting the workout. Let's see - 125 pounds seems to be the right weight. Seven reps - not to bad - but the 15 second contraction - okay - I will give it my best.
5 minutes pause
The first break since starting. Only 10 minutes have passed since starting this workout - but I feel like the workout has lasted hours. My biceps and my lats look unbelievably huge.
Bench Press (setup set)
Now I feel much better. Let's start bench pressing. 360 lbs is my one rep maximum - so I will use 180 lbs. I have to start with the positive phase. So, first I bring the barbell down to my chest and then start pushing up slowly. The 60 seconds seem so long. It works fine. Now the negative phase. I lower the weight in slow motion. Thirty seconds to go - no this isn't nice - 15 seconds left - I don't know if I can hold this another second. Well I'm done - but no time to rest. I have to go over to the next exercise
