Alright. I worked a little late last night, but made it to the gym. Here are my sets. Keep in mind that these are working sets. I warm up first with a set of lighter weight to get things going.
10/11/11
1 Hand Dumbbell Rows - 3 Sets
95x8
95x7
95x6
Felt a slight shooting pain in my right forearm during the 2nd set. I rested a solid 5-6 minutes before doing my 3rd set. The weight became difficult to grip in my right hand, but I managed to pull 6 reps.
Bodyweight Pullups - 5 Sets
32 total reps, broken out across 5 sets. I used the smith machine for these b/c it has a wide bar. I just raised the bar up to the top rack and did my pullups there. I still felt some strain in my forearm, but it wasn't enough to have a significant impact on my work.
I get to add another complaint about my gym: The weight belt is often either missing or broken. Couldn't do weighted chins b/c there was no weight belt available. Hence the bodyweight pullups.
Upright Rows - 3 Sets
80x8
80x8
80x8
This time I felt the strain in my right forearm the moment I picked up the weight. Took this one a little lighter b/c of this. Afterwards I actually felt like this whole exercise was a waste of time.
Dumbbell Bicep Curls - 1 Set
35x8
At this point, my forearm really tightened up. Figured I shouldn't press my luck, and called it a night.
Overall, I'm not particularly happy with how it went last night. Today I don't feel anything in my forearm, so I hope it was just a little twinge.
