Just did an upper body workout. This is what I did.
Bench press 4x10, 6kg dumbbells
Bent over rows 4x10, 6kg dumbbells
Shoulder press 3x8, 6kg dumbbells
Bench press 2x6, 8kg dumbbells
As I said in the other thread, I had concerns over form. So I got the instructor to help me with the bent over rows. I'm still not convinced I did them correctly as I felt it a bit in my triceps but not really in my back. Is it a case that I was lifting too light?
6 kg per dumbbell was perfect for the bench press, as I think d 8kg afterwards and could only manage 2x6. 6 kg was perhaps too heavy for the shoulder press as by my last few reps my arms were like jelly.
It took all of 20 mins but i don't really feel as if I just worked out. My left arm feels quite weak and my right arm feels slightly weak and that's about it. Maybe I'll just wake up with severe doms?
Does it sound like I did alright or do I need to do something differently?
Thanks
