Heavy Upper Body!

Wow! It has been some time since I last lifted super heavy. My body definitely will have to do some adjusting. My workout lasted about 1.5 hours (a little on the long side for this type of workout). Rest periods were slightly longer and it looks like I lost a bit of strength but not too much.

Here it is:

Bench Press- 255x5, 265x5, 275x4 (This was actually 3.5 reps but I did not have a competent spotter and he literally took the weight away from me...I'm 100% I was going to get it since I was basically at lockout) -->Next week I might switch to straight sets at 260 or 265
Flat DB Press- 85x10, 95x9 (straight sets at 90 next week)
Shoulder DB Press- 70x7,x7,x6 (my shoulders were pretty tired by this point so really not that bad-->Might switch to progressive sets starting at 60 and going to 75)
BB Rows- 235x5, 245x5, 255x5 (Next week I'll do straight sets at 245)
V Bar chin- epic fail....I simply can't do these at the Stanford gym :/
Pull ups wide- bw+45x6,x5. (I'll drop the weight to 40 next week)
Shrugs- 235x10, 285x10 (I'll use 285+ next week)
JM Press- I'm still figuring these out but I'm sure once I do, my triceps will explode. I can already feel they work even though I still need to master the form- 135x10, x10, 95x10 (I'll start at 95 and work up next week)
BB EZ bar curls- 80x10, x9, x8 (arms were tired by this point) I'll stick with this weight next week.

I know! This is a shit ton of volume but I'm hoping I can adapt to it. In the meantime I might have to go a little lower volume on my hypertrophy days. I'll just be playing it by feel


I also really like this song
