Squats - 52.5 kg (up)
6 6 6
I didn't increase the weight though I should have. Didn't feel too stretched or exhausted by this, though got a good sweat from it. Feel slight discomforts in areas I shouldn't feel (e.g. ankle, lower back), so taking it easy with the progression for this exercise till I improve my form.
Bench Press - 52.5kg (up!)
6 6 7
I'm on a system where if I do 6 reps, I'll increase the next set by 2.5kg. So I actually did 52.5, 55, 57.5... and it felt quite easy! I wasn't even struggling that hard in the last set, so did an extra rep for kicks. I think 6 6 6 is a very forgiving rep/set range, can lift heavier than both 3x8 or 5x5. Shall to go till failure for the last set for future workouts.
Inclined Bench Press - 40 kg (stay)
6 5 6
A brand new exercise for me, so I was getting used to the range of motion. It felt weird as if I were to extend my arms naturally, the weight goes outwards at an angle, so I have to try to push the weight straight up. Still working on my form for this exercise, so I'll probably stay at this weight, and may consider going down one.
Inclined Dumbbell Press - 20kg (stay/up)
6 6 6
The gym at Bukit Gombak doesn't have dumbbells past 20kg >< How to progress? Not very sure about this. May just push it up to 10 reps a set, or find another gym with 20+kg weights and stay at a heavy weight (6 rep range)
Overall a pretty satisfying workout. I think I was happy about the Bench haha. I'll be looking forward to steady progress in my weights, and dread the day I plateau, simply because of how long away the next workout (and my chance to progress) is
