Chest, Shoulders & Biceps Workout

DB Incline Press
Set 1-2 5lbs x 15 reps - warm up sets
Set 3- 10lbs x 15 reps - focusing on tightening upper back & core. Felt burn on shoulders

Set 4 - 10lbs x 12 reps - Ok reps
Set 5 - 15 lbs x 10 reps - great resistance weights - still could maintain good controlled form & felt the tension

Standing DB Overhead Press
Set 1 - 15 lbs x 8 reps - focused on tension & esp left arm since it's weaker
Set 2 - 15lbs x 8 reps - left arm felt weak towards last 3 reps - might have to drop weights at last set
Set 3 - 10lbs x 12 reps - too light for right arm but decent enough for left arm - not much struggling

DB Prone Rear Delt Raise
Set 1 - 5lbs x 12 reps - decent, felt quite light
Set 2- 5lbs x 12 reps - decent (might be able to do heavier weights like 7-8lbs but no such DBs at gym!)
Set 3 - 5 lbs x 12 reps - started to feel the burn in upper left traps esp by last 5 reps. DB felt light for right arm

Alt. Biceps Curls
Set 1 - 10 lbs x 15 reps - biceps burn by last 3 reps!
Set 2 - 10lbs x 12 reps - more aggressive tempo but w/out swinging the body or the weights around. Isolated the mov'ts on biceps solely- struggled last 2 reps
Set 3- 10lbs x 12 reps - same tempo as set 2 - struggled last 2 reps

Finisher:
One Arm DB Jerk
15lbs x 10 reps @each arm
20lbs x 10 reps @each arm
