I also increased my shoulder presses by 2.5kg to 52.5kg for my 5x5 sets today💪👊 (for those of you following my challenge). I expect to keep on adding more progressively, as I'm getting more and more used to the lower rep range for my shoulder workouts. 55 should be just fine on Wednesday🤞.
For those following me on Appics, I've invited anyone who follows me to leave a guess on how much I will be able to lift above my head at the end of the #getinshapechallenge , where my goal is to practice Olympic Weightlifting and see how much I can lift in one rep. I'll be giving away 100 STEEM to whoever make the closest guess, making it 200 if they also participated in the #grtinshapechallenge and 300 if they also invited a friend to do the same (let's grow this place together!).
Monday morning s my regular "Push day", where my workout focus on chest, shoulders and triceps, the major muscles involved in any pushing movement. I''ve found this workout split (I'll do "Pull" tomorrow which focus back, biceps and the rear-delts) to be very effective in terms of grouping complementary exercises and practicing movements where the muscles come together (isolation is fine, but at some point, the body is not individual muscles).
So today's workout was my usual "push day" routine consisting of:
- 5x5 Barbell shoulder press 52.5kg
- 5x5 Barbell bench press 85kg
- 3x10 Dumbbell incline bench press (upper) 28kg each
- 3x10 Triceps extensions 35kg
- 4x10 Dumbbell side-lateral raises 8kg each (really heavy if you disengage the Traps in order to isolate the side-delts!).
