Week 3 Day 1 Shoulders

I just smashed this workout out of the park. Felt the good vibes on the drive to the gym, warmed up the shoulders, cranked some tunes and pushed some pig iron. My plan today for the 5 sets of 1 rep was to start at my programmed weight see how it felt and add weight for each set. Military press was programmed for 130 for all 5 sets but I started at 135 and increased 10 lbs each set ending with 175 lbs. Doing sets of 1 rep is boring so this spiced it up somewhat. 
For my bench press I also increased the weight 15 lbs from last week and pushed my 3 sets with all paused reps at the bottom. Bent over rows I pushed the envelope and increased my volume again. Finished with weighted dips which after doing pushups made it just that much harder.
The energy was there for this workout so I went with it and pushed my 1 rep sets hard. The remaining workouts for week 3 I will do the same thing IF I feel it's in the tank. No gas no pressing on the throttle, just hit the programmed weight and move on. Lift for another day and stay injury free, knock on wood!
