Fitness Log #4 - Shoulders - Week 1

Standing Shoulder Press - 30kg (up)
6 6 6
Started at 25kg and realized it was too light. Went up one weight for every set, so ended at 35kg on the last set. So I kinda did 5 sets (including a warmup set on 20kg).. which made my shoulders feel very nua for the whole workout lol.

Standing side lateral raise - 6kg (up)
6 6 6
I actually started at 4kg as I was still feeling weak from the shoulder presses, then did 8kg, so I will record it as doing 6kg. Next time will try all 8kg.

Seated DB shoulder press - 16kg (up)
6 6 6
I really like DB presses for some reason, they just feel very controlled and engages a lot of my muscles in a very targeted way. And I seem to generally do more than people around my size for DB presses lol. Can shift this up one weight next workout.

Front DB raise - 10kg (up)
6 6 6
I didn't really know what to do for the last exercise, so I decided on this. 15kg was too heavy, 10kg wasn't too challenging. Shall try 12 next time.

Shoulder workouts give such a burn! My arms/shoulders were so numb and weak after the workout. Good stuff.
