You're right. I just like to accomplish my goal every time I go in to the gym, and I went heavier than I expected, so I didn't feel like I did. On the positive side, when I got down and did the first set at 185 on the incline, I just pumped it out. Hard as hell, but I did it. Was only after I had 4 reps that I thought about it and said, holy chit, that was a much bigger jump than I usually do.

Warmups (arnold presses and regular db presses at light weight)
DB presses: 45 x 7, 45 x 6, 50 x 5, 50 x 5 (50 is a PR on db presses for me)
Standing overhead presses: 45 x 10, 75 x 7, 100 x 7, 105 x 6, 115 x 5, 125 x 1 (PR), 115 x 6
Zemekone rear delt raises: 45 x 10 for 3 sets
Upright EZ-bar raises: this was either 75lbs or 85lbs (not sure if this EZ-bar is 25 or 35lbs) for 3 sets of 8,7,6
My hour was up and I was spent. PRs on DB press and overhead press was a nice thing. Funny thing is, I'm sore as sh*t from yesterday's back day. My lats are just aching and I was sure that was going to have a negative effect on my lifts. Guess it didn't.

Great job!
