* I had to start cheating a little on the barbell curl during the second and third set in order to get the last couple reps.

* I didn’t increase the weight on the barbell row because I want to give my bench press a chance to keep up. Most people should be able to row as much as they can press but in my case my back strength has overcome my chest strength.
I also did 12 reps on the last set to test my strength. Nevertheless, I am going to keep the weight light and focus on using good technique and allow my grip a chance to develop. I have used straps for over a year but now I want the grip strength to match. In the process I am hoping to build bigger forearms and hopefully this transfers to biceps as well.

* My goal was to try for three reps but I yet fell short of this goal. I might lay this exercise to rest for awhile and continue with high volume training for awhile instead before making another attempt.
** The weight I chose for this exercise wasn’t appropriate for the french press and I didn’t even feel a burn in the triceps. I will change this superset to alternating dumbbell curl and french press the next workout.
*** I already include an overhead extension in my workout so I am going to switch to overhead dumbbell triceps extensions to triceps kickback. I am just getting back into supersets and may have to experiment a few times until I find the right combinations.
I am also doing to add a fourth superset for the forearms combining reverse barbell curl and wrist curl together.
