Only slightly feeling yesterday's workout
A couple weeks back I noticed my lat pulldown and shoulder press work didn't seem to be developing the lower bicep proportionally to upper arm muscle. I learned that alternating conventional overhand grip (ala bodyweight pullup) and reversed/underhand (chinup) on the lat pulldown machine is a common practice to specifically target the lower bicep.
The shoulder press machine has 2 pairs of grips: "neutral", i.e. perpendicular to the plane of motion and also the shoulder-safest grip position; and overhand, parallel to the plane of motion. Reversing the neutral grip would be totally unnatural and decidedly dangerous. Reversal of the parallel grip COULD be a thing, but there are much better ways to target the front delt (shoulder) and upper chest. If that was a goal then the most efficient and safe machine for it would be the (incline) chest press, or pec deck as a worthy second-place choice.
Yesterday's workout clocked just about 30 minutes, maybe up to 3m over. I think I'm getting great value from that time. I do wish I had kept a cleaner dedicated per-session journal.
