Bicep Pull Up 5
I didn't use the assisted machine this time, so this was full on pullups, I went for a 1 second up - 2 second down rule, to get maximum benefits from this exercise. I hope to be able to do plenty of pullups soon! I think pullups are better than deadlifts, so instead of sacrificing pullups for deadlifts, I'll sacrifice deadlifts for pullups. Will write more about this on back day.
Narrow grip bench - 47.5kg
888 (prog)
Kinda like this exercise because a lot of stabilising is required due to the narrow grip, so more muscles are engaged. Did this with some effort, but no problems! Up up up.
Bicep curl - 17.5 straight
8 8 8
This was no where close to being easy, so will continue doing this weight.
Skullcrusher - 17.5 straight
8 8 8
I stayed on 17.5 straight because it felt so heavy! siao. Dying on every set. Will stay on this weight and focus on strict form.
Hammer curls - 15 15 12.5
8 8 8
Don't think my form is great for this, my elbow always flares out. Seems rather unnatural if they don't. I think I'll try to do both arms at once, and hope it isolates my biceps better.

A few weeks ago I was considering removing arms day because I didn't feel the exercises were useful. With this current set of exercises, I think it's actually quite ok as they're not super isolation per se. Will keep it up!
