Standing Shoulder Press - previous: 30. Now: 32.5kg (up)
6 6 6 (prog)
The Squat rack was hogged by a group of 4, so I had to do this with the bench's barbell... which meant a power clean into position every set :( Still managed to finish my sets cleanly though.
Note to self: 'prog' means progressive loading.
Standing side lateral raise - previous 6. Now 8kg (up)
6 6 6
It's so hard to do this with proper form. I wonder if there's any point pushing the weight up or keep working on perfect technique (i.e. slow, controlled motion). Being able to go up in weight just means my explosive burst is stronger, but going slow seems to work my muscles more.
Seated DB shoulder press - previous 16. now 16kg (up on reps)
7 7 7
So silly, the gombak gym doesn't have 18kg dumbbells because one is spoilt. And they don't plan to replace it. Zzz. This means I'm stuck at 16 until I think I can make a jump to 20. I think I will work my way up to 8-10 reps for 16s, then venture to 20kg once my standing shoulder press hits 40kg (which kinda translates to 2x20kg right haha)
Front DB raise - previous 10kg. now 10kg (stay, controlled)
6 6 6
I tried 12kg on my first set and was basically cheating all the way (e.g. swinging, using my torso). Will just do 10kg next time, and work on holding the weight for longer at the top of the lift.
