Upper-body workout

Fell off the wagon yesterday — fried chicken, spice drops, ice cream, a peanut-butter and jelly sandwich. Gotta behave the rest of the week.

  • Weight: 272.5
  • Bench press:
    • 15 reps with pair of 15-lb weights. (Actually did 16 reps by accident.)
    • 15 reps with pair of 18-lb weights.
    • 15 reps with pair of 21-lb weights.
    • Doorway stretch after each set.
  • Upright row:
    • 15 reps with pair of 12-lb weights.
    • 15 reps with pair of 15-lb weights.
    • 15 reps with pair of 18-lb weights.
    • Side deltoid stretch after each set.
  • One-arm row:
    • 15 reps with 15-lb weight.
    • 15 reps with 15-lb weight.
    • 15 reps with 18-lb weight.
    • Fixed bar back stretch after each set.
  • One-arm triceps extension:
    • 15 reps with 9-lb weight.
    • 15 reps with 9-lb weight.
    • 15 reps with 12-lb weight.
    • Overhead stretch after each set.
  • Biceps curl:
    • 15 reps with pair of 15-lb weights.
    • 15 reps with pair of 15-lb weights.
    • 10 reps with pair of 18-lb weights.
    • Doorway stretch after each set.

My form was off on the biceps curls with my left arm in the last two sets; it was last time too. I’m shifting my elbow, relying on momentum to get the weight up. Next time: 15 with 15, then 10 with 18, then see how many I can do with the 21-lb weights.
