Had an arm day today, which was a good session. At the moment I have put arms on their own to give them a bit more attention and allow for a bit more weight to be moved, where as putting them with a push/pull day can sometimes take the endurance away for the big weights.
Barbell curl
Hammer curl
Rope hammer curl
Preacher curl
Close grip bench press
Cable push down
Bench dip
Skull crushers (Lying triceps extension)
I'm working in the 8-12 rep range at the moment, but I'm also going with how the set feels. I'm using weights which at the time I feel I can hit the range with, but also, if I can push it more on certain set then I will. I use the rep range as a guidance. So if I can push a weight to 15,16, even 20 then I will. Then of course I will put the weight up for the next set. I think working by instinct in this way is a good method. Sticking to a range and stopping just because you hit a number can leave you short changed in your workout!! I'm at a level where I know how my muscle should feel when it's getting hit hard, and that's what matters, not checking off a pre-determined number!
Also added in forearm work which I'm gonna be continuing.
Reverse grip cable curl
Wrist curl
Reverse grip wrist curl
Gotta keep up the forearm work from now on. Never payed continuous attention to my forearms, but as these small body-parts are going to be just as open to judgment as the rest of me, I need to pick it up!
