My stretching therapist really wants me to focus on doing dips, to increase elbow flexion--did that today and had an excellent session! No where near a normal person BUT best its been since 2008 ish Here was the workout Dips (1 and 1/4 reps) Meaning I go all the way down, come up a 1/4 of the way then bottom out again, really working on holding it getting a great stretch--use additional weight over my BW--nothing to brag about yet but something 10 sets of 5 reps (each 1 and 1/4 is a rep)--these feel great I have custom built V-Dip apparatus--this was early this AM, chest still feels pumped now After each set, as a staggered set did either band pull aparts or wrist roller Followed by 4 sets of 15 reps band incline fly (this workout is at my home gym so equipment is pretty scarce) Around the world plates raise--20--20--20, 10--10--10, 5--5--5 Hit the bag for 10 minutes staying active with punches but not hitting all out yet GREAT SESSION!
