    BACK & BICEPS

    Weighted Pull Ups: 35/7 and 35/5
    Low Row (overhand): 180/10 and 200/8
    V Bar Pulldowns: 180/8 and 180/6
    Barbell Curls: 75/10 and 80/8

    Short but intense workout today. 8 working sets and a total of 35 minutes !!! I went back to barbell curls for the first in years today. I've never liked barbell curls, but it's such an effective exercise for overloading the biceps. I'm going to add these to my routine for 1 month and see how they progress.

    Thanks. Yes it is a now (unfortunately) discontinued Salsa El Mariachi. I picked it up new for less than half of retail when they were blowing them out last year.

    SHOULDERS & TRAPS

    Seated DB Press: 65/10...70/6
    Barbell Shrugs: 225/20...245/15...275/12
    Standing DB Press: 50/8...50/6

    7 heavy and intense sets today. I'm slowly falling back in love with lifting heavy. I lost some motivation recently and have been going through the motions over the last few years. It's coming back though. These weights are nothing compared to what I was lifting in my profile pic, but I will get it back !!!

    Bench Press
    Pullovers
    Overhead Plate Lift
    Cable Flies
    Crunches

    My bench/chest press has always been weak for me. I finally broke the 200 barrier on chest press. I was able to manage 205 for 5 reps. I was feeling strong (and had a spotter for once) so I tried 225 and failed miserably so I did drop sets of 6-8 reps dropping 10lbs per set back down to 135. This was 10 lbs more than I was able to manage last week.

    Last night I got back into my push up program. 92/5 sets. Regular, knuckle and diamond. Not too bad, but my forearms were sore.
