Fitness Log #10 - Arms - Week 3

EZ Bar Bicep Curls - previous - 17.5kg. now: 20kg (up)
Reps: 6, 6, 6 (prog)
Tried wearing gloves (with wrist support) for this, but not sure if it helped or worsened. I think I may have to go easy on the weight and just work on more reps to strengthen my wrists instead of going for heavy weight for arms. 

Skullcrushers - 20kg (up)
Reps: 6 6 6 (prog)
This is a new exercise - I don't normally do it as I don't always get a barbell for free. Next time I may have to use the EZbar for this. It works the triceps much better (the best I think) though than any other exercise

Alternate DB bicep curls - 16kg (prev) (stay on 15/16)
Reps: 6 6 6
Not sure why but my wrists hurt when I did this. I think I cannot go heavy on arm exercises, as my arm strength is outpacing my wrist strength. Shall work my way up to 10 reps for 16kg before progressing.

Narrow Grip Bench Press - previous: 42.5kg. Now: 45kg  (up)
Reps: 666 (prog)
I think I can do 50+ no problem. Shall keep progressing. The aches on my triceps the next day are amazing lol.

--

Really don't like arms day though in theory it's the one I want the most lol. Don't find them very productive in terms of progression and at the end of workout. May do without it after 1-2 months, we'll see.
