Angela...
This is a tough exercise, even after months of working out. I find Kickbacks easier to do. Can manage 15-20# at that and still only up to 10-12# on the Extensions. Maybe try starting lighter on it so that you can manage all of the sets??

Shoulders need more work to get past the baby weights. Shoulders and upper arms are very sore already.


This is another tough exercise. I'm still not very strong in the shoulders. I've been doing shruges and find that if I really focus on tensing the muscle at the top, I get a really good burn and then the DOMS too. I'm looking forward to having some real strength in my arms!

You are doing great! I think it's awesome that you are doing all of this!
