Fitness Log - Chest - Week 7

Not a good workout overall, as it was quite rushed. Arrived at the gym late, and had to rush my exercises.

Squats - previous: 62.5. Now 65kg
6 6 6 (prog)
I think I'm making the most steady progression on squats. I'm not sure how close to failure I am, the last few reps definitely feel hard but it doesn't feel like I'm gonna fail. Abit scary (to not recognise when I'm about to fail), as the Bukit Gombak gym has no safety bars too.

Bench Press - previous 60, 62.5, 65, now: 60
666 prog
Got a spotter for the last 2 reps of the last set again. First 2 sets went more smoothly than last time though. Will stay at this weight, and hopefully I can do the set of 65kg without a spot next time.

Inclined Bench Press - previous: 50kg. now: 50 52.5 52.5
6 5 3 
I actually did 6 reps for all, but i'm excluding the sets where I needed a spot. Oops, I didn't realise I wasn't prog on this exercise, so I went to up to 52.5. I think I can try 50 52.5 55 again next time. Maybe I should use lighter warmup sets (currently doing 20kg, then 40kg)

Inclined Dumbbell Press - previous: 20kg (7 6 5), now 20kg
7 6 5
This was harder but could be because I was in a rush and wasn't fully concentrated. Think 100% concentration and the mind muscle connection is very important to get the most out of my workouts :/
