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

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!)

Alt. Biceps Curls
