Arms - Week 1

Underarm pullups - 8, 3
I decided to do 2 sets, and ended up doing about 8.5 and 3.5 haha. I don't like how the bar at mount faber is kinda slightly tilted to the sides, so it's not a very natural grip.

Narrow grip bench press - 50, 52.5, 52.5
888
I was worried that 52.5 would be a bit too heavy, as my normal bench press was only 55! But 50 felt easy, so I upped to 52.5. Will start from 52.5 next time, and if it feels easy I may up to 55.

decided to go lighter this week, and thought this was a good choice. The last few reps of the last set was quite a grind. don't think I can do 17.5 with perfect form, so i'll stick to 15kg till my arms get stronger so I can get maximum gains from a slow, controlled movement.

I think I can go heavier on this, but aligning the weight with my bicep curls is more convenient so maybe I won't up this for a while and just focus on more perfect form.

As I'm doing them seated and against my thigh, this really isolates my biceps so I can't swing my body or use my back to help... which may explain the lower weight. I don't think I'm ready to increase the weight yet, though the first set seemed easy.
