Notes:
Yikes, that workout was long and hard (that's what she said! 
).
I probably should have warmed up more on the incline bench because the 3rd and 4th sets felt fairly easy. By the 6th set, fatigue had set in though, so that was about the right weight at the end.
DB bench felt surprisingly easy. I guess I'm getting stronger! 
The downside of getting stronger is I'm using weights that are too light :P
Head supported DB row I keep worrying about form--is my ROM enough? Back neutral?
Lowering the weight on the curls is not easy. I probably could go up in weight if I just flopped down, but I figured I'd keep the weight down and control the negative.
