Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3 II
Had myself a great push day yesterday, although my wrist has been acting up from throws in karate. Typical push day: Pushdowns, shoulder press, Flyes, etc.
I am am however, adding long chains to the ends of the barbell for bench press so when I lower the bar, I have to explode with my chest in order to raise the bar back up. Went down a lot of weight (chains are 20 pounds each), and felt much more of a pump than with standard bench press. The chains also swing slightly, which makes my stabilizer muscles work as if I was working with dumbbells. Going to see if this helps my overall chest strength.
