Work Out 6 (Shoulders, Biceps, and Triceps)
I made some decent gains in everything except my second set of shoulders. I really was trying to make a rep gain and think I might have exhausted myself on the first set. However, besides that I think I had a great workout. Here's how I did:
Free Weight Shoulder Press
W) 6 x 22.5 lbs.
1) 10 x 37.5 lbs.
2) 5 x 37.5 lbs. (good weight)

Work Out 5 (Chest and Back)
Colby and I lifted over Brian's again and I made gains in all exercises. Additionally Josh gave me a couple suggestions and said to not do flies because they aren't the most conducive to building muscle mass. I took his advice, but I'm not certain whether or not he is being honest, or if he is trying to stunt my weight lifting growth for fear that he will be left in the dust. Anyhow, here's how I did:
Bench Press
W) 6 x 95 lbs.
1) 12 x 125 lbs.
2) 10 x 125 lbs. (go up to 130 lbs.)
Dips (for chest)
1) 3
2) 7
*I was pushing way to far up on the first set, and the second set I was more concerned with unnecessary upward motion that I didn't really focus on my chest to isolate it. I need to work on that next workout. Additionally, I gotta do negatives in order to put myself in the best position to make gains.
Pulls Ups
1) 5
2) 4 (2 neg.)
One Arm Rows
1) 14R/10L x 37.5 lbs.
2) 10R/10L x 37.5 (stay at this weight)
*I didn't completely feel either of these sets, not sure if my form is off or if I am not focusing properly, but quite frankly I am going relatively light weight given the reps I am getting, but for some reason not quite feeling my back. I could be potentially overworking my back. So something I may want to consider.

Work Out 4 (Shoulders, Biceps, and Triceps)
Last night was my 2nd Shoulder, Bis, and Tris workout and it went pretty well. Here's how I did:
Free Weight Shoulder Press
W) 6 x 22.5 lbs.
1) 9 x 37.5 lbs.
2) 7 x 37.5 lbs.
Dips
1) 11
2) 9 (3 neg.)
Push Downs
1) 6 x 50 lbs.
2) 6 x 50 lbs.
Straight Bar Curls
1) 11 x 55 lbs.
2) 9 x 55 lbs. (1 neg.) (go up to 60 lbs.)
I think most of my weights are good, probably should pump up a little bit on the Straight Bar Curls, but I had a good word out, but did it at Brian's which has some different equipment, but I made a gain in reps and weight in the shoulder presses, but I was kind of stagnant in the push downs and I feel as though that is partly due to the fact that I did dips this week and was able to last. I really like keeping this records because it gives me something to shoot for each set.
