23rd July
Shoulders
Standing Military Presses
4 warm up sets of 10, 10,8 and 3 reps
4 working sets of 12, 8, 8 and 8 reps (should have been 12, 10, 8 and 6 but something went wrong)
Seated Arnold Presses
4 working sets of 13, 12, 10 and 5 reps
Followed immediately by normal dumbbell presses of 2 sets x 5 and 6 reps
Dumbbell Shrugs
3 sets of 15 rep with an extra 2.5kg for the third set
This was more or less the same workout as 6th July. I've been doing mainly endurance workouts since then, so it was interesting to see how much I've progressed. I added extra reps on about 20% of the workout and added some weight in places. In that respect I have progressed, which is exactly what I would have hoped to do. And, as I said a few days ago, I've been cutting calories and carbs for few weeks now so would usually expect to have lost at least some muscle and therefore strength and that doesn't seem to be happening.
I'm hoping to do some triceps later on tonight.
