notes: left shoulder is weaker than right, I will alternate arms next time on the hammer strength press. I did additional assisted reps because I was pissed that I couldn’t get more reps on the second set.
I did more on set 2 of lat raises, because I felt that the pain on set 1 was too mild.
I LOVE Standing one arm dumbbell presses.
I couldn’t find an exercise that could safely target my triceps over my chest. My chest overpowers them alot, even on tricep pushdowns. DB triceps extensions were good though.
Overall it was a good workout, I am just pissed because I dont want to be able to extend my arms after a tricep workout, I am going to have to experiment and find some exercises that work for me.
