Step-up – 2 x 15 x 35(each hand)
DB One Arm Shoulder Press – 2 x 15 x 35

HIIT
5 min warmup
3 rounds
1 min 90%
2 min 40%

Comments: Added considerable weight to my deadlift. I knew in my head I could do far more than I was doing so I figured I would go for it. Much to my belief I pulled it off. However, I suffer from a pinched nerve in my neck. And when I get close to my max efforts I get pain in that spot. So my last rep I felt it acting up. So next week I may drop it back 10 lbs. We will see. Added more to my pulldown. Again I underestimated my ability. Last rep was very difficult but it felt good. I need to improve my grip strength. It'd definitely my weak spot. I could probably add more weight to some exercises if it wasn't for that.
