944

Success. No shoulder pain. In fact, my shoulder felt better after lifting.

Bench press:
225 x 5
255 x 3
285 x 6
> Wanted to get 7, but oh well. Shoulder felt great but I feel mentally held back, like I can't really power it up as explosively as I should be vying for. Better to be careful, though.

Crazy plates:
175 x 8, 8, 8, 8, 8
> Whoa. Used the 10 lb plates instead of 25s. Despite going way heavier it's so much easier when the plates don't hit the floor.

Dumbbell rows:
142 x 5, 5, 5, 5, 5
> Never pulled this heavy with one arm at a time before. Used my own dumbbell handles.

Preacher curls:
85 x 12

At the gym right now benching, the weight feels like air. About to try my heaviest set. Hopefully my shoulder holds.
