Push up plus 10 reps

BB Incline Press
Set 1 - 20lbs bb x 12 reps - focused on pushing from lats & armpits
Set 2 - 20lbs bb x 12 reps - upper back felt tension - keeping core tight- back pressed against bench
Set 3 - 20 lbs bb x 12 reps - felt still have 1-2 reps left

Standing BB Overhead Press
Set 1 - 20lbs x 15 reps - ok (couldn't find 15dB nor 30lbs BB) focused contracting upper back muscles & more aggressive tempo
Set 2 - 20lbs x 13 reps - shorter rest between sets so fatigue by 13
Set 3 - 20lbs x 12 reps - focused contracting upper back muscles & more aggressive tempo

Prone Rear Delt Raise
Set 1- 2.5lbs plates x 15 - quite easy getting to 15 reps
Set 2 - 5lbs plates x 10 - good weights - need to focused contracting shoulder blades on way up
Set 3 - 5lbs plates x 10 - same feeling as above

Close Grip Push Up aka diamond push ups ?
