1B Seated Shoulder Press These were done standing because the seated shoulder press station was being used.
65 x 10
95 x 8
115 x 6

I was very dissapointed with this set because as I was recording my numbers in my log i realized that I had been using 35's instead of 45's. What I was recording as 135lbs and 145lbs was really 115 and 125. I was pressing 20lbs less than I originally thought which made me feel really strong during the set, but not so great afterwards.

130 x 10
130 x 10

95 x 10 - I had to switch back to front presses due to some shoulder pain.
3A Lat Pull-Downs - Wide, behind neck

80 x 12
Shoulder Press - Wide grip, behind neck
65 x 10 - I had to cut this set short, again due to some shoulder pain.

bar+40 x 10
bar+60 x 6
As you can see I have been having some shoulder pain. I plan on removing the behind the neck movements and starting on some rotator cuff exercises. They seemed to work for me in the the past, but when the pain went away I got lazy and stopped doing them on a regular basis. Now seems to be the time to integrate them back into my routine.
