Day "15": Shoulders & Arms, Ab Ripper X

Today, my goal was to add weights and do less reps, where I felt I was able to.  I even made it through 1 set of the bonus round!! :) :) :)  Kristi and I had to stop there because we started late due to getting home late.  BUT hey!  We did some of the BONUS round!!

As a reminder, I use resistance bands and the colours and weights are as follows: Black (Blk, 5lbs), Blue (B, 10lbs), Yellow (15lbs), and Red (20lbs).  If you combine two or more colours (which you are able to do with the resistance bands I have), then you add the weights together as well.  So Black +Red = 25lbs.  I found a picture of what I am talking about with the linking up 3 bands a time.  So, here is what my resistance bands actually look like:



So you can hook each end of the bands into the handles!  Super awesome!!

These are the exercises I did today:
1. Alternating SHoulder Presses: 13R, 14R
2. In & Out Bicep Curls: 16R+Blue, 16R+B
3. Two-arm Tricep Kickback: 15B, 15B
4. Deep Swimmer's Presses: 15R, 10R
5. Full Supination Concentration Curls: 11R, 13R
6. Chair Dips: 20, 20 (I should mention that my knees were bent, so these are the easiest)
7. Upright Rows: 15R, 15R
8. Static Arm Curls: 12/side R+B, 8/side R+B
9. Flip-Grip Twist Tricep Kickbacks: 16B, 13B
10. Two-angle Shoulder Flys: 16B, 16B
11. Crouching Cohen Curls: 15R, 18R
12. Lying-down Tricep Extensions: 13Y, 15Y

(I still really dislike Exercises 10-12.  For some reason, they give me the hardest time!)

BONUS ROUND:
13. In & Out Straight-arm Shoulder Flyrs: 14B, --
14. Congdon Curls: 10?R+B, -- (I was counting strangely, and then got confused with his counting.  So, this is probably an underestimation)
15. Side Tri-rises: 16/side, --
