I was surprised how hard the dumbell push press was.  I just felt like my arms were all over a bit.  And I had some difficulty locking out my left elbow a couple of times.  Each set was a challenge to get the last reps.  I backed off on set 4 because I didn't think I'd get another 10 with 35# but 30# was easier and then I made the 35# on the 5th set.  It was shaky though.  The strict pull ups were a lot of fun.  I feel like I've made a lot of improvement.  Bench was satisfying.  I kinda knew I wouldn't make it to 10 reps on the last set with 75# but I wanted to try it anyway.  It's always my right shoulder that kinda locks up or something...it's on the anterior side.  The rows were tedious.  I really was throwing my body into the 50# reps so I backed off.  My arms were pretty tired at this point.  Strict toes to bar was fun too.  Again, it's my right shoulder that starts to kinda ache.  I think it feels fine until I start to sag on the bar and lose the tension in my scapula.  By the dips, my arms were smoked.  My body weight was super challenging to manage so I just stuck with that.  The bottom of the dip was a lot of tension in my shoulders, not painful though.  Thanks!
