Back, Shoulders and Arms with Light Glutes/Legs

Today's upper body workout with some light legs (focused on posterior chain such as One Leg Hip Thrust, Standing Side Hip Abduction, One Leg DB RDL) and a set of Skater squat towards the end.

Various Mobility Warm up
Stability ball roll out, core stability drill, etc

Incline DB Rear Delt Flys / incline DB chest flys
3x7.5lbsx20 / 3x10lbs x15

Hammer Wide Lat Pulldown/ standing side hip abdct 20@each
45lbs x 15- ok
50lbs x 12
50lbs x 12 - hard last 2-3

One Arm DB Row / Seated One Arm Arnold Press
3x25lbs x 15@each / 3x20lbs x 12@each (moved down to 15lbs last 5-6reps)

Note: So I tired out using 20lbs DB for single Arm Arnold Press - my left hand managed to do 5-6 reps before I had to switch down to 15lbs to finish off the reps - total 12 reps. My right obviously could do more but I'll use my weaker side as my max reps for now.


Incline DB Chest Press (DB @each) / one leg hip thrust (paused top method)
20lbs x 15 / 12@each
20lbs x 15 / 15@each
25lbs x10- hard last 2 esp left / 15@each

Note: I could do 25lbs DB Chest Press for at least 10 reps! :)

Incline Overhead Ez Curl Bar Triceps ext / Standing ez curl bar biceps curl
20lbs x 15 / 20lbs x 15
20lbs x 17 / 20lbs x 12
20lbs x 15 / 20lbs x 12

Note: I was going to try Incline Biceps Curl but realize I need to use a pair of DB not EZ Curl Bar..LOL so I had to do standing EZ Curl Bar Biceps Curl instead.
