DAY 2

Today I focused on chest and shoulders.  The exercises I did were pushups, dumbbell lateral raises, renegade row, overhead dumbbell press, reverse fly and Arnold press.  I had these paired in groups of 2, one which was focused on the chest and the other one focused on the shoulders.  I did 10 reps of each exercises, then moved on to the other exercise in the pair, did 10 reps of those and then did 3 sets of each of the groups.  I used a 3lb dumbbell for all exercises besides the renegade row where I used a 5lb dumbbell, purely because the smaller dumbbell was more painful to have on the ground.  The hardest exercise for me was probably the renegade row, not because of the actual exercise but because of having my hands resting on dumbbells, and putting a lot of weight on them.  In regards to the most challenging exercise for my muscles, I think it was the pushups.  I started off doing them properly but then eventually had to drop down to my knees.  I'm excited to work on that and become as strong as I can.  I think the most effective exercise for me was the reverse fly.  I really felt my shoulders working and it got progressively more tough the more I did it.  After the exercise, I did some shoulder rolls, arm rolls, neck/head rolls, across the body arm stretches, and behind the head arm stretches.  I think this really helped my muscles relax a little bit.
