My brother and I


July 8th I trained chest and triceps with Sheldon. I did just about all compound exercises with lots of volume in incline bench exercises.
Chest exercises:
Flat Barbell Bench press 3sets x8reps 185lbs
Flat Dumbbell Bench press 2sets x8reps 80lbs
Incline Dumbbell Bench press 3sets x8reps 80lbs
Incline Barbell Bench press 3sets x8reps 155lbs
Tricep exercises:
Dips 3sets x10reps 270lbs
Tricep cable pulldown 3sets x 10reps 60lbs
I have had the chance to train my brother Sheldon with weightlifting. I first got him interested in weightlifting the American Family Fitness in Chester was built. The gym was located close to my house so we got a family membership. My brother and I now had access to any fitness equipment we could ever need to get stronger. Sheldon weighed around 95 pounds when he first started weightlifting and today he weighs 125. He has grown substantially stronger since he first started weightlifting a year ago. When my brother and I workout we can push each other to become stronger by spotting the lift. Usually we warm up lightly and then progress into heavy sets. After the workout we eat tons of good slow digesting carbs such as sweet potatoes with lean  proteins such as salmon.
