Fitness Log - Arms - Week 7

Ah, a much better arms day as compared to last week's fail one cos of injury.

Underhand grip pullups
Reps: previous 4, now 7
? No idea how come suddenly jumped to 7. Could be because I was on the assisted machine at Gombak. But I took out the pin, which should mean I got zero assist. Anyway, did a 7. Grip was a bit weird though, as it's not a straight bar but like 2 handles, so abit of a wide grip for underhand grip.


Narrow Grip Bench Press .prev : 50kg, now 50kg (up!)
6 6 6 prog, 
Wow, this was super easy today. Not sure if it's because of differing barbell weights at different gyms.. (last week's session was at safra tpy. today at gombak) Got a spotter over for the last set but didn't need any help. Powered through all 6 reps. Time to up weight!

EZ bar bicep curls . 15 17.5 15kg
888
I'm switching up my arms programme because I don't think heavy weights are very effective for isolation exercises - I swing too much, and try to compensate by compromising form. By keeping the weight lower, I can concentrate on perfect, strict form, and really getting the full workout on the target muscles. Will up to 17+kg straight sets next time.

Lying skullcrushers. now: 17.5, 15 15 (excluding bar)
8 8 8
I made a mistake on this weight big time - I thought my previous weight of 20kg was excluding the bar, so I did 17.5 on first set. It was so heavy but I did it! 
Think I will try 15 prog next time

DB hammer curls. 12, 14 14kg
8 8 8 
Man these were quite tough on my forearms, coming at the end of the workout. SO sore haha had to push through the last few reps. But I think lower weight is the way to go, get to engage the target muscle much better, and minimise cheating.
