This workout was interesting as it seemed to exhaust different muscle groups for Kenway and me. Kenway really felt it in the shoulders but my forearms burn like crazy, probably because I was bending my arms early. The thing with this workout is each exercise works the same basic muscle groups, so there is really no respite. I was using the longer bar with weights attached, and unfortunately spent a lot of time readjusting when the clamps hit the ground before the plates and sent my bar up cockeyed on the following rep. I also found it easier to use more of my back when doing the SDHPs, but I think that may be because my back's not smoked like Kenway's. All things considered this was a great workout, it really got the heart rate up and I was having some problems breathing afterward which is a pretty good sign.

Yeah Scott, I hate SDHPs when they get off balance.
Workout sounds like fun though.
This one is a shoulder burner for sure. Finished only the first (21) and the last two (6,3) sets unbroken. If your forearms are burning, you're likely bending your arms early; if you think of the SDHP as a rowing analog, it's like pulling with your arms before your legs are extended or your back opened - you end up loading your foreams/biceps for a longer duration.
Nice work, though.
