I tried this (well, a similar) warmup today and I had a really good workout. It could be the warmup, it could be just a good day in the gym.
Today was arms. I did:
BB curl
Just bar X 12 (warmup)
Just Bar X 12 slower (warmup)
65 # X 8 (acclimation)
75# X 8 (acclimation)
85# X 6 (working set)
85# X 5 (working set)
Hammer curls
25#@ X 10 (acclimation)
30#@ X 10 (acclimation)
35#@ X 6 (working set)
35#@ X 4 (working set)
Cable curl
80# X 12 (acclimation) (weight has to be messed up due to cables)
90# X 12 (acclimation)
110# X 8 (working set)
120# X 8 (working set) (next time will definitely up the #'s)
Did a similar workout with Tri's doing skull crushers (super'd w/ dips), pressdowns and behind head 1-arm extensions.
I will apply this tomorrow, which is shoulder day.
It felt really good, but I want to make sure it wasn't just the enthusiasm of trying something new...jury is still out.
