Meathead Bench and Shoulder Training

Started a new 4-week program yesterday with a squat workout that left me sore this morning. So today was a new meathead bench workout with a little extra
shoulder training (for the posterior delts).

Today's workout:

1A) Bench with chains - 2 sets of 6 @ 205 + 20 pounds chain
1B) DB chest-supported row - 3 sets of 8 with 50 pound dumbbells

2A) Close-grip rack lockout - 3 sets of 3 with 245lbs
2B) 1-arm db row - 3 sets of 6 with 105lbs dumbbells

3A) Decline pushups
3B) Band pulls

4A) 1-arm db chest press
4B) DB triceps extension (4-sec eccentric)

I really like the advice on band pulls in this article

I'll be doing my 4 sets of 25 a few times per week, in addition to a lot of other warm-up and upper back mobility movements.

Today's kickbutt mindset tip:

Kekich Credo #52. Don't be pre-occupied with things over which you have no control, and don't take things personally…..For Fat Loss: Do NOT obsess about
your scale weight. Focus on behaviors that help you lose fat and take action on them.
