5-10-20 Arms

Today I wanted to really mix things up so I decided to do three sets of exercises, with the first set 5 reps, second set 10 reps and third set being 20. This would require varying levels of strength. Stamina being most important for the last set.

Here is what I did:

Preacher Curls: 5 x 135, 10 x 115, 20 x 75
Dips: 5 x bw + 90, 10 x bw + 45, 20 x bw
Concentration Curls: 5 x 45, 10 x 35, 20 x 25
Skull Crushers: 5 x 115, 10 x 95, 20 x 75
Incline DB Curls (21s style): 15 x 45 (5 lower half, 5 upper half, 5 full), 30 x 30, 60 x 20

I had to take three small breaks (20 - 30 seconds) on the last set of Incline DB Curls to let the intense burn subside for a bit. I still held on to the weight, just put it in a static position. Stayed with the prescribed workout this time as well. Felt great. Hoping to have rubber arms for a couple days.
