Today, we tried doing the Upper Body II workout (back/shoulder/bicep) with three people instead of two. It didn’t really work as well as it did with just two. Maybe this will become the Wednesday workout with Jason and we’ll do legs on Fridays instead. Or we’ll figure out a way to make it work without the delays between sets getting too long. Who knows. Anyway:

Lat pulldowns, wide grip: 3 sets, 90 lbs (+10 from last week)
Lat pulldowns, narrow grip: 3 sets, 100 lbs (+20)
FreeMotion lat pulls: 2 sets, 70 lbs
Rhomboid row: 2 sets, 80 lbs (+10)
Hammer Strength low row: 3 sets, 90 lbs (+20)
Squat reverse flies: 3 sets, 10 lb dumbells
Single arm cable vertical rows: 2 sets, 45 lbs (+10)

Medial shoulder raise: 2 sets, 12.5 lb dumbells
FreeMotion shoulder raise: 3 sets, 40 lbs (+5)
Hammer Strength shoulder press: 2 sets, 80 lbs (+30)

Barbell curl: 2 sets, 40 lbs
Dumbell curl: 2 sets, 15 lb dumbells
Dumbell hammer curl: 2 sets, 15 lb dumbells
Hammer Strength curls: 3 sets, 30 lbs (+5)

Not a bad improvement over last time. Of course, the real test will be whether there’s any improvement next week, now that I’m more comfortable with the exercises. After we were done, we added something like 25 lbs to the HS curls and did short sets - upright to 45 degrees - until failure. For me, that was about six repetitions. Ahh… good burn.
