Week 2 Day 1 Shoulders

This workout summed up in a nutshell fast and furious! Once my warm up was done it was just constant movement throughout the whole workout with minimum rest between all my sets. The weight for the military press is not much but it's working for me and my shoulder is not complaining too much so win win. My rest intervals for the sets of 3 where under 1 minute. All my sets felt like a RPE 7. Could increase the weight slightly but I'm going the slow and steady route for shoulders. Threw in a few light sets of side and rear laterals with a 5 and 10 pound plate to help get the shoulders warmed up. Next was bench press and I paused all the reps and the weight did not increase from last week. Only on my heavy bench day is the weight increasing, the light days are for focusing on technique. A good pause at the bottom while keeping everything tight and under tension makes the set that much harder with lighter weight. Onto bent over rows and I decided to superset these with plain old push ups. Nothing crazy just sets of 20 reps so nothing close to failure. This really got the lungs going and my rows felt stronger than last week awesome!! Last up to bat was weighted dips and these suffered from doing the push ups oh well. Not as much weight but they felt gtg.
The week of  3 reps is here and the weight increases can hardly wait for legs tomorrow...I'm losing IT.
No excuses gym rats hit that pig iron!!
