Cardio and Chest

Took sunday off from the gym to rest. Back at it again Today with 1 hr light cardio and chest workout.
Did some stretching after my cardio session prior to starting weight lifting.

Today I worked out chest and completed the following:

Flat bench press (45lb plate each side plus bar = 135lbs) 10 reps x 4 sets

Incline bench using dumbells ( 45lbs each arm = 90lbs) 10 reps x3 sets

Decline bench using dumbells (40lbs each arm - 80lbs) 10 reps x3 sets

Butterfly machine (90lb setting) 10 reps x 3 sets

Finished off with abdominal crunches and leg raises 10 reps x4 sets

I can definitely see my strength climbing at this point with the amount of weight i am able to do. I am also noticing that I can carry through the entire sets without stopping (IE 2 weeks ago I was stopping at rep 5 for a few seconds before moving on)

Will possibly look into purchasing some weight lifting gloves for better grip and less wear and tear on my hands.
