Seated Shoulder Press 105x5,5 125x5,5,5
Squat 155x3,3 175x3,3,3
Straight Leg Deadlift 135x20
I'm now doing shoulder presses without a spotter in one of the perpetually unused squat racks. It actually works really well, because I can position the bar in front of my body for the liftoff and do it by myself, whereas on the piece of equipment for shoulder presses, the bar is positioned behind the neck. There was no way I could get it into place by myself - I always felt like I was going to cry just trying to push it up. My left shoulder seemed like it was going to be torn apart..
SLDL was nothing, finished the set in less than a minute. Thinking about bumping 10 pounds next week.

Squat 155x5,5 175x5,5,5
Bent-Over Row 150x5,5 170x5,5,5
Dip 40x5,5 60x5,5,4
Shrug 65x5,5 85x5,5,5
My whole pectoral girdle felt like it was going to be ripped apart on dips.
I could barely hold onto the 85 pound dumbells.
I guess this is the close of 8 weeks. I could go another week because of the three days I messed up everything. I also kinda want to finish the 170 bench..
Otherwise I'll give it a week and start on a new routine. Which keeps the basics of this one intact, by the way.

well.....you should really switch to something different like a one body part per day with say 9-12 sets on each bodypart spread out over three exercises
