36 Minutes of Stretching

Comments: Haven't done a true DE UB day in like month with all the contests I was doing. First time using these bands with this setup. I've used it before but with different bands since my overhead was much lower then. The first set with the bands was a surprise as I wasn't expecting it. Figures since I haven't really been doing these and I was only using 55lbs of tension. I may need to add a straight weight jump in there somewhere next time. I felt I really had to have perfect form rather than just wing it so I'm very happy with this setup. Did my thick dumbbell work with 35's this time and it was much more awkward than it usually is. I seemed to have figured out the form with the bigger diameter after the first two sets. Dumbbell incline felt good, not sure if this is a weight PR but it is a rep PR. It will be interesting as I get better at this exercise, especially since my gym has only one 80lber. JM's were tough as hell. I had to give it everything on all of those sets to get those reps. Figures when this is the first time I've gone heavy on them in over a month. Finished up with stretching.
