How are the dumbbells treating your shoulders so far, Jim?
No brain, no gain.
"The fitness and nutrition world is a breeding ground for obsessive-compulsive behavior. The irony is that many of the things people worry about have no impact on results either way, and therefore aren't worth an ounce of concern."--Alan Aragon

Impressive inclines, shoulders must be doing fairly well.
I heard of some ridiculous Canada holiday yesterday on the MISC, please tell me this isn't real - "Family Day" where you have to go around bothering people by singing at them, wtf is this?! Can't be real, we had Presidents Day yesterday which is a completely useless, made up holiday, everybody still has to go to work but there is no postal mail, meh. I say just cram all these little weird holidays into one mega holiday - BOOM everybody eats cupcakes and shoots off fireworks in one day annnnd then done!Current PRs:
Bench Press: 200x1
Deads: 315x1
Back Squats: 275x1

Definitely seeing some improvement Bill. Not at 100%, but I don't expect to ever get there; I didn't lift a thing for 7 years and still had shoulder pain.
But I am making progress and the bit of squawking my shoulders are doing is not holding me back much, if at all; so far I'm happy with the change to all dumbbell work.
I'd be good with that.
Thanks Hammy; and yes there is a holiday called "Family Day" and it was yesterday. It's only been around for about 5 years. There are no oddball traditiosn or anything; I think the miscers were trolling. Singing at people? Ummmmm.....nope.
Thanks Bruce.
Thanks BSG!

Decent.........pfffft....
Makes my max attempts look like a demolition derby.
Nice work man! I think you still have at least another 25# in you at this stage.
So, now I know how you feel when I post bench press videos in the 300's........I'm beginning to feel like squats above 500 are just not gonna happen for me.
Keep it up Jim!

Awesome squat, Mr Flexy!
Your leg pic turned out well too. It's so hard to take leg pics - the camera just doesn't do them justice.No drama: You know where we are.

That's some volume there... wish I could wake up early enough to do the morning workout thing... Although my early evening workout is a good way to deal with the stress of the day!

Impressive pulldowns.
BTW, do you shave your legs or are you one of those guys. lol. ;-) Nice quad development either way."There's something about a heavy weight that makes a body not want to get under it. Part of the fun of weightlifting is rousing one's spirit and getting under a heavy weight in spite of one's more sensible survival instincts." -Stenn

Power Saturday
On Tuesday I modified my progression sets on squats, limiting my reps in order to get a 5 plate squat, so today I used the same strategy to get a new deadlift PR of 565.
Leg presses were going well, and I was going to try for 3 sets of 8 @ 1,020 lbs, but I hurt myself on the 2nd rep of the 2nd set, squeezed out a few more reps then bailed. I hope this doesn't set me back on any other lifts...
Overall very happy with the session.
Oh, and I also attempted 575, but failed on that. Maybe next week....
