Thoughts: Busy gym at this time of day. Anyhoo, I followed this up with about ten minutes of stretching. I am very tired today as I am filling in for the morning guy. I still matched last weeks numbers and even added the Dips for fun. Lot of sweat today. And I took about 30 second rests.

BB Good Mornings: 45x5/55x5/65x5/75x5/95x5
Thoughts: Tried to keep this to 60 second rest periods. It did vary a bit, particularly with the Squats as I was changing weights. My math sucks, so that set me back. Ha.
Other notes:
It wasn't the best form on the last rep of the Cable Rows. I decided not to hurt myself on the Front Squats, so I kept it to three reps. I may have been able to push out a fourth, but figured no point in getting hurt. I added the Dips again just for fun.
My right pec felt a little tight. That may have been from the Dips on Wednesday. Will see how it is on Friday. It doesn't hurt right now, so it may just be DOMS.
I dropped Rope Wrist Curls and Seated Calf Raises and opted for some extra time stretching.
Overall, good workout despite being very tired.

Thoughts: It's funny, I never feel really spent after heavy day. But at the time of the movements, I know I'm done and reached my limit of that particular exercise. I think it might have something to do with the longer rest periods. I take about 90 seconds to two minutes between sets.
I will up the Calf Raises to four sets of 20. I may even be a rebel and try Front Squats next Friday.

Thoughts: Happy with my Front Squat. It was bugger cleaning that weight from the floor, so I think I'll stick with that wight for a while. Still got a pinch in my right shoulder with the Rows. I switched from the small handle to the cable curl handle. It made a bit of difference.
Stretched for about ten minutes afterwards.
This felt good today. I even received a few compliments!

EZ Bar 21's: 35x21x2
Thoughts: Okay, I'm done with Seated Cable Rows. I love this movement, but until I can figure out why I get the pinching feeling in my shoulder, I'm gonna do a different back movement. I gave BO Rows a try (just a couple of reps) and the same with Seated Machine Rows. Both never seemed to aggravate the shoulder. I did try a different handle (cable with handles atattched) and it didn't let me do a trunk flexion at all. This made the weight feel that much heavier, too.
I also dropped Parallel Bar Dips as I feel these may be causing some undo stress on my shoulder.
I upped the SLDSs and the DB Bench.
Followed this thing with about seven minutes of stretching.
