R1-SG2-D3

8-10 rep range/180 second rest between sets

Squat
265 x 8
265 x 8
265 x 8 good set. Earlier sets could have gone another rep or two. Start at 275 or 280 next week.

Pull-ups
BW x 10 feels strong
BW x 10
BW x 10 (8+2) NO KIPPING. Steady and strong pulls. I worried my pull-up strength would suffer a lot from almost exclusively training chin-ups for the past 8 weeks or so, but it only has marginally, if any.

Ring Press/Flys
BW x 10 each
BW x 10 each- solid. 11 couldn't have happened.
BW x 10 (7+3) great set

Rear Delt Cable Pull
20 x 12 per arm

Seated Leg Press Calf Press
310 x 10
315 x 10

Bicep EZ Curl
75 x 8 tough set.

Dips
BW x 25 (no belt with me-curious what I could churn out)

Shrug machine DL
230 x 12 warm-up
270 x 12
290 x 12
310 x 12 perfect set. Last 2 were a struggle. I like that exercise.

Military Press
95 x 12 behind neck-arms parallel to floor-very strict and cautious
105 x 12 weight is very light, but enough that I have to focus through the movement and be careful of sloppiness
105 x 12

Tricep Cable Kick Back
20 x 12 per arm- good contraction, but shoulder feels sharp pain if I go off track even an inch
20 x 12 per arm
20 x 12 per arm-good careful sets

KTE
BW x 12 strong set-good high bunghole in the mirror (sorry kids)
BW x 12 another perfect set-may want to consider adding ankle weights for these
BW x 12

70 x 8 bah! Last week was a stronger set. Boooo!

Bicep Curl
65 x 12 great set. Arms felt like the skin was going to tear.
65 x 10
65 x 10

Scott Calf Raises
140 x 12
150 (full stack) x 12
150 x 12 not enough weight. Body position is perfect, but stack only goes to 150. Get creative.

R1-SG1-D2

10-12 rep range/180 second rest between sets

Squats
225 x 12
245 x 12 last few pretty tough-up weight next week
245 x 12 nice set. It was a fight after 7. Maybe do all three at 245 next week and see how it feels before bumping up too much.

Delts
90 x 12
100 x 12
100 x 12 could probably go heavier, but am opting to err on the side of under doing any more damage to shoulder. Very slow and strict.

140 x 12

R1-W2-D4

Deadlift
245 x 8 (to ground each rep)
245 x 8 (6+2 grip slips on bounce.
245 x 8 (5+3)heart going. That 90 second rest feels like nothing.

130 x 8
130 x 8 slow pull and full stretch at bottom of eccentric position
130 x 8 nice fatigue towards end-keep form very strict
130 x 8 nice and tired. Loosened form a touch on last 2 reps.

100 x 10 pretty easy
120 x 9 not bad. Not as challenging as free weights, but easier on my elbows and shoulder for today

120 x 9 keep arms slightly arched through movement. Puts greater strain on inner pecs throughout exercise
