Re: UPPER / LOWER JOURNAL
Hey good workout man. Looking great. I just wanted to say that don't force that 10lbs if you think you can only do 5. If you feel real strong that day and you can handle 10 lb, go right ahead, but the main focus right now is to go up in small increments, such as 5 lb a week, which will give you the consistent increment and allow you to workout for longer before having to say drop an exercise (because you cannot get passed a certain number) or take time off gym due to overtraining too quick.
Remember 5lb a week is a big deal, give it a year, imagine how much stronger you'll be.

Felt good going into this one so I figured I might as well bump up the weight. Lowered the volume though... I think I'm going to start using 2 sets instead of 3 sets. I seem to have much better focus and I'm not as wiped on the last pair of exercises. UPPER A1. Incline DB Bench 2 sets @ 75s x 6-8 <font color="red">(+10lbs)</font> A2. Barbell Row 2 sets @ 165 x 6-8 <font color="red">(+10lbs)</font> B1. Weighted Pull-up 2 sets @ bw+10 x 6-8 <font color="red">(+10lbs)</font> B2. Standing Military Press 1 set @ 100 x 6-8, 1 set @ 105 x 6-8 <font color="red">(+10lbs)</font> C1. Preacher Curl 2 sets @ 80 x 6-8 <font color="red">(+10lbs)</font> C2. Rope Pressdown 2 sets @ p16 x 6-8 <font color="red">(+p2)</font>
