* tried the 120lb x20s on the seated shoulder pressing and it was too heavy for multi sets of 20s. got 1 set to 20 but already at a crawl at rep 18. 19-20 was a fight. not a good thing for the next set to 20. would probably start fighting the reps at 14-15. that would really be bad for my lowerback. back to 110s for now. skipped the dips for better recovery for later.

* got sent home early from work for a lunch time offsite 12-3pm. slept 1-3am a while ago and did a morning workout. will sleep 7-11am and enjoy some good food. come back home and nap again and do another night workout.
* added forearm work to the routine. it adds another 3-5min rest time to my exercise rotation.

* did more rowing for the rear delts using the lat pulldown but with seats far back so i'm pulling more horizontally when i angle my torso perpendicular to the resistance. did more rows because my front delts are getting stronger. 120 x20s now. got more room to grow until the machine stacks out at 165lb. using the double ropes for a face pull type movement feels spot on for the rear delts. the diverging movement at the bottom ROM hits that rear delt area perfectly. need double ropes because i got wide shoulders.

* high 190s bw steady for almost a week now and the 405 top set is getting very quick again. could have 435 without any issues and a 455 inside the pins just in case. would not be surprised if i go for 455 later if the 405 felt light again.
* forearm curls are stable at 30lb x20s.
