Chest day :)

I really have begun to like chest day.  I used to hate it.  Probably because I felt like it was my weakest body part.  I mean, I used to struggle to do 10 "girly" pushups.  I was always under the assumption that I just didn't have enough upper body strength to do them in full plank.  Boy, was I wrong. :)

I really like chest day now.  My favorite is flies - any kind of flies.  I really like working the upper pecs, maybe because they are what really stands out in a womans' physique.  I don't know.  I just know that I feel very strong while I'm doing them.

Plus, I can now get in 25-30 good full plank pushups in a set.  So, now the goal is to make it all the way to 50 in a set.  No more "girly" pushups here anymore.
