I just wish it was up to your level.

5/6

incline bb press 3 x 8 @ 95,135,155
chest machine press 3 x 8 @ 115/130/145
machine shoulder press 3 x 8 @ 90, 140, 140
lat raise 3 x 10 w/20s, 22.5s, 25s
single arm tricep pressdown 3 x 10 @ 20,30,35
overhead db extension 3 x 10 w/25s

I haven’t done shoulder machine work in over 3 months and I was really surprised I couldn’t do 180 for good reps. Odd. Oh, well, egp setback but I look good shirtless.

This week is probably how routine will work. Only advice so far is when adding weight, drop back to about 6 reps until I work up to 10 and then drop back again. So far this workout leaves reps in the tank. Previous workout from same guy gave me an after workout exhausted feeling which I liked.

I would really like to see your workout now that you are finished with the testing. What program will you follow or do you know at this time?
