-I'm going to add a incline curl instead of a alt. dumbbell curl because I feel the incline curl more.
-I'm going to drop the cable pressdowns because it just doesn't have enough weight to make it hard. I will do close grip bench instead for 3 sets.
-For skullcrushers I used an ez curl bar and put a 35 pound plate on each side, then a 45 pd plate per side.
-Overhead dumbbell raises I'm going to keep, but start with the 125's.

*This marks the end of my first week. My muscles are more sore doing this routine than hitting them twice in a week like my other journal. I actually didn't know I was this strong. Usually, my first two sets of a given exercise is lighter than I obviously should've went and therefore fatigued them enough to where I didn't hit a heavier weight. I love this method of thinking. I will keep this plan as long as I see results. I'm supposed to take the next 2 days off. I'll definately take tomorrow off, but if I feel good to go, then I'll hit chest/abs and start the rotation off again. I can see why the first week is more about figuring out what weight to start off with for the following weeks.
