I hit the gym at 7:45am today, and I trained my Upper Arms (Biceps and Triceps). My Partner SA HardTarget wanted to build bicep peak, so we had planned to do 15-20 sets for this body part, and used Super-setting intensity principle to get a good pump in upper arms.
Training Day: 31st – Saturday, 26th February, 2011
Body Parts Trained: Upper Arms (Biceps and Triceps)
Training Duration: 1 hr (Morning 7:45 am)
Weather: Cold
Training Partner: SA_Hardtarget
Total Exercises: 9
My feeling after the workout
My partner got a decent pump in the upper arms, whereas I failed to achieve it. Only Hammer Curls at the end gave my Biceps a decent pump, other than that I screwed up my workout. 
Feeling in the triceps was okay as I was still trying to overcome the lower triceps weakness.Warm up
I did a little bit of stretching, and then did one set each of Military Press, and Behind-the-neck Press with Barbell only. I did around 12 reps for each exercise. Then I moved onto the Dumbbell Curls, to warm-up my biceps, did one set of 12 repetitions, with 8Kg dumbbell.
