What's up everybody? I just now completed my first real workout since joining up here. It was mainly Arm and I believe a little bit Shoulders as well. I'll need some clarification on that, but I think I'm right. Here is how the routine went, more or less.
1) 5 sets of 10 reps- Bicep curls with curl bar (outside grip/ 40lbs including bar; didn't want to start off too heavy)
2) 6 sets of 10 reps- Tricep extensions with curl bar (inside grip/ 40 lbs again; last few sets were a real pain for me to do)
3) 3 sets of 10 reps- Dips using end table (not terribly hard to do, but arms were shaking quite a bit)
4) 3 sets of 10 reps- Bicep curls with curl bar (inside grip/ 40lbs; surprisingly easier to do. I'm not sure if it should have been?)
5) 3 sets of 10 reps- Pushups (shoulder width hand placement; arms were really aching by this point)
Now for the bad part. I rested probably way too long unfortunately. Rest periods were about 30-45 sec between sets, and about 2 min between exercises. Also had a couple of questions.
1) During the Tricep extensions, should I have been feeling it in my forearms?
2) I noticed a little pain in my lower back during the routine. Is this a sign of bad form?
