DB Bench Press 110 x12, x11, x9 nice

DB Flies 90 lbs (2x 45) x15, x10, x9 up one

Very nice. The new bench is awesome. The uprights are wide enough that I don't have to shift my grip after I clear them like on my old one. Much safer.
 
Shoulders.

Seated DB Military Press 70 lbs (2x 35) x14, x11, x8 good for the extra weight


Vertical grip DB lateral raises 20 lbs (2x 10 lbs) x13, x11, x9, x9 up 3

Definitely KoS. It's helping my motivation, too, which has been in the crapper lately. Dunno why.

Incline BB bench 120 lbs x12, x7, x5 Weight increase kicked my ass

BB Bench Press 110 x12, x9, x5 Ah. See, this week I actually did bis and tris and they are toast. No supporting muscles, so lower numbers. Oh well, I'll rearrange these workouts next week.

DB Flies 90 lbs (2x 45) x13... That's it for today. Arms are so weak, I'm in danger of dropping the weights.

Definitely need to make sure chest comes before arms in future.
 
Shoulders.

Seated DB Military Press 70 lbs (2x 35) x15, x12, x10 more weight next week for sure


Vertical grip DB lateral raises 30 lbs (2x 15 lbs) x9, x7, x7, x6 I need to pick up some 1 lb weights, so when I bring the weight up on these isolation exercises, it isn't so dramatic. I think I a muscle in my neck.

Standing reverse flies 50 lbs (2x 25 lbs) x13, x11, x10, x9 good

Gonna soak and take some naproxen. I hope I didn't strain my neck too badly.
 
Back

Deadlifts 215 lbs x14, x12, x8 up weight, down reps... eh

Shrugs 215 lbs x18, x15, x14 up 5 lbs same reps

Pull ups x15, x11, x9 same

Bent over bb rows 100 lbs x10, x7

Not terrible.
 
Quads. Best thing about the new bench is that the uprights extend high enough to be a squat rack, where as before I had to stand from a sitting position with the weight before each set.

Squats 180 lbs, x12
@165 lbs x10
@150 lbs x9 up weight down a few reps. a wash

Sissy Squats x15, x12 up one

Leg extensions @ 110 lbs x11, x10 These are far more difficult on this bench. Better support, less swinginess. Good stuff.

Not bad.
 
Incline BB bench 120 lbs x13, x9, x6 up 4 reps

BB Bench Press 110 x13, x11, x8 much better

DB Flies 90 lbs (2x 45) x14, x10, x8 numbers were a little meh on those, but good form and a nice mind-muscle connection which I struggle with on this exercise, so a win.

Back for shoulders in a bit.
 
Shoulders.

Seated DB Military Press 80 lbs (2x 40) x10, x8, x7 eh


Vertical grip DB lateral raises 30 lbs (2x 15 lbs) Neck is still a little tender from the strain last week. Gonna skip these this week.

Standing reverse flies 50 lbs (2x 25 lbs) x13, x12, x11, x10 good

Good enough.
 
Skull Crushers 55 lbs x13, x10, x7, x6 Up one

Close Grip Bench press @ 120 lbs x13, x9, x6, x6 down one. I did bench presses yesterday, so I expected a bit of dip here.

Finished off with some low-resistance cable push downs.

Not bad.
 
Hammies and Calves.

Romanian Dead Lifts 220 lbs x15, x15, x13 up one

Leg curls 75 lbs x10, x6 those are much harder on the new bench

Seated Calf raises 235 lbs x47, x27, x24 nice

That'll do
 
Biceps.

EZ Preacher curls 55 lbs x11, x7, x6 up 4 reps

Standing DB curls 50 lbs (2x 25) x13, x10, x9 up one

Standing hammer curls 50 lbs (2x 25) x10, x8 up one

Chest. I missed a few days due to illness. Still a little sick, but not enough to stop my workout.

Incline BB bench 120 lbs x13, x9, x7 up one

BB Bench Press 115 x12, x9, x6 up weight, down more reps than I'd like though

DB Flies 90 lbs (2x 45) x15, x10, x9 up two reps!

Mostly a win.
 
Back. Once a week I'm going to do strength training with a single big lift. This week will be deadlifts.

Deadlifts 235 lbs x7, x5, x5, x4 definitely different

Behind the back Shrugs 200 lbs x13, x15, x10 awkward as hell.

Pull ups x15, x11, x9 same

Seated DB Military Press 80 lbs (2x 40) x13, x10, x8 up 6 reps!!!


Vertical grip DB lateral raises 30 lbs (2x 15 lbs) x10, x9, x7, x6

Standing reverse flies 50 lbs (2x 25 lbs) x14, x11, x10, x9 These were getting sloppy and swingy. I corrected it.

Good one,

Oh, yeah, my lats are so sore today! I don't get that often, so I get excited when I manage it. I like it. Makes you super aware that they are there.
 
Quads

Squats 180 lbs, x9 Tried a wider stance to change things up. Whew. Killer

@165 lbs x9
@150 lbs x8 The stance change made it much harder, but I also felt kind of unfocused. Dunno why.

Sissy Squats x15, x12 same

Leg extensions @ 110 lbs x12, x11 up two

Not great, but my quads are fried, so it wasn't too bad.
 
Thanks. There's been a lot of ups and downs. Just getting back to feeling motivated, rather than going through the motions for the first time in a few months.
 
Chest. I missed a few days due to illness. Still a little sick, but not enough to stop my workout.

Incline BB bench 125 lbs x12, x8, x5 up 5 lbs, down a few reps. A wash

BB Bench Press 115 x12, x9, x6 same

DB Flies 90 lbs (2x 45) x14, x9, x8 down a little. The presses really wore me out today.
