Upper-body workout

Tried something new today. I remember from Hot Point that women were supposed to do longer sets (more reps) with lower weights, and men fewer reps with higher weights. The exercises I’m doing I got from a site aimed at women. I figured maybe I should be trying shorter sets with more weights.

So what I did today was one long (15 reps) set at the weight I used last time, and then two shorter (10 reps) sets at the next highest weight level. Feels pretty good; the one-arms rows left my back and shoulder muscles with that hard-used feeling I associate with a productive workout.

Somewhere out there, there’s gotta be a publisher of exercise-related books called Bench Press. Google agrees, but thinks it’s German.
