      • 8 = 95
      • 6 = 105
      • 12 = 95
    • Dumbbell Flyes (chest burnout)
      • 12 = 35 pounds each arm

      • 10 = 30

      • 6 = 35
      • 12 = 35
    • Dumbbell Front Raises

      • 12 = 35 pounds

      • 12 at x pounds
Notes:  may increase weights after warm-up so doing 45 pounds at reps of 6 
  • Triceps

      • 12 = 20
      • 10 = 25
      • 8 = 25

Notes:  Good workout; ready to increase after warm-up

Next workout will probably mix it up or reverse the order.  Next workout Friday

Overall:  Great workout; really feel burned; muscles shaky; so long as can use good form would like to make the above weight increase; even if only slight
