Barbell Upper Body - Can't Kill Us

Still sore from the last upper body day but I wasn't missing today. We used the same basic workout from Mean Muscles as our template, just switched up the actual movements. Here's what got done:

BENCH PRESS:

55lb x15

60lb x12

65lb x10

85lb x8

95lb x6

SEAL ROWS:

15lb x15

15lb x12

25lb x10

30lb x8 (10 second hold after the last)

50lb x6 (10 second hold after the last)

*The last set was not as high as they should have been, but I was happy I was at least able to move the 50's lol

SEATED DB OVERHEAD PRESS:

(15lb x10) 4x

DB CURLS:

15lb Reverse x10

15lb Hammer x10

15lb Reverse x10

15lb Standard x10

LYING DB TRI EXTENSION:

(15lb x10) 2x

My right arm kept giving out on me. I don't think it was the triceps, I think it was actually my elbow. So I switched to DB kickbacks.

DB KICKBACKS:

(15lb x10) 2x

••••••••••

It was really weird that my arm was giving out on me because that's my dominant arm. I would have expected that from the left, but not the right. I tried doing the seated presses with the 25lb db's, but there was no way I was getting those safely over my head. So, while I'm disappointed that I had to stick with the 15lb's, I'm happy that I still got it done. I also noticed that last upper body day we did too many reps, which explains why I'm still sore!

I'm glad we hit it tonight and I hope that we can carry this momentum through the upcoming week.
