Exercise Log 1.17.14 (Dev Day, No Cardio)

Okay quick log for development day, it was kind of a rough day for me feeling very lethargic and slow. Still the workout helped, and made me feel good. Going to keep this log straight and to the point though. My decision was to do squats (to build my new form better) and to do shoulder work (which I missed on my short chest day).

Goblet Squats: Sets 1 & 2) 10 reps @ 60lbs. Set 3) 10 reps @ 70lbs. Set 4) 10 reps @ 80lbs. Set 5) 10 reps @ 90lbs. Almost tweaked my knee doing these, gotta be careful not to go too fast.

Front Squats: Warmup) 10 reps @ bare bar, 8 reps @ 95lbs. Sets 1 & 2) 5 reps @ 125lbs. Sets 3 & 4) 5 reps @ 135lbs. Set 5) 5 reps @ 145lbs (tough set, took my time).

Shoulder Dumbbell Flys: Sets 1-4) 10 reps @ 30lbs.

Trap Shrugs (standard trap shrug machine): Sets 1-4) 10 reps @ 270lbs.

Reverse Dumbbell Flys: Set 1) 10 reps @ 90lbs. Set 2) 8 reps @ 105lbs. Set 3) 6 reps @ 120lbs. Set 4) 5 reps @ 135lbs (slow eccentric movement). Set 5) 10 reps @ 90lbs (very slow eccentric movement).

Body Rows: 3 sets of 8 reps

That was it, it was about all my energy level could provide for today. Still it was great and it literally went from making me feel miserable and beat down to feeling fairly up and motivated, and I went from feeling lethargic and lazy and more shifted into feeling legitimately tired for a reason and not so lazy. I guess the paradigm shifts in behavior are often subtle things.
