good luck man. are you a basketball player?

[Bassist-Dude]

For sure, its one of the few sports I am naturally pretty good at. I could definately be a better player (I'm working on my outside shot right now), but its one of those things I just enjoy doing, even shooting foul shots for an hour is fun.

Day 3: Tuesday, August 28

Lower:
*Leg Press: 2x8 @ 120lbs, 1x8 @ 140lbs
Leg Curl: 4x10 @ 60lbs
Calf Raises: 3x10 @ bodyweight. Going to add weight next time.

Upper:
**Bench Press: 2x8 and 1x10 @ 50lbs + bar weight. I'm not sure of the weight of the bar in a smith machine.
DB press: 2x8, 1x6, 1x4 @ 22.5lbs each arm.
**Close Grip Bench: 3x8-10 @ 20lbs + bar, 1x6 @ 40lbs. One of the 20lbs sets was originally warm-up, but I couldnt handle 40lbs, so I did 2 more of the 20lbs sets.


*Done because the benchpress bar was broken, and I use that for my squats because my local rec center gym has no squat rack.
**Done in a Smith Machine for the above reason.
