incline press supersetted with pullups: 20 @ 40, 5 pullups, 15 @ 50, 5 pullups, 12 @ 60, 5 pullups, 10 @ 70, 5 pullups, 8 @ 80, 5 pullups

dumbbell flyes supersetted with barbell rows: 1 x 10 w/25s, 10 rows @ 135, 1 x 10 w/30s, 10 rows @ 155, 1 x 10 w/35s, 10 rows @ 175, 1 x 10 w 40s, 10 rows @ 185, 1 x 10 w/50s, 10 rows @ 185

lying dumbbell pullovers 3 x 15 w/60 lb dumbbell

40 lb x 20 ncline presses were too light but 135 lb x 20 would have been too heavy. 25 decent pullups over time was a PR; present weight 250. No straps dictated rows’ weight choices. I liked this workout, just need to add some weight.

squats 5 x 10 @ 95, 135, 195, 195, 195
leg curls 5 x 10 @ 100, 110, 120, 120, 120
leg press 3 x 15 @ 180, 270, 270
calf raises , lots with weight up to 120

machine seated dips 1 x 10 @ 180, 3 x 15 @ 230

First conventional squats in long time. Used a rubber pad and I think the pullups have made the shouders more pliable. Still hurts a bit, but it’s an improvement.
