Smoldering Shoulders

     My goal tonight was to hit my shoulders and show them who's boss. Here's how I tried to do it:
••••••••••
DB SEATED O.H. PRESS:
25lb x10
30lb x7
35lb x2
(30lb x5) 3x

EZ BAR SKULL CRUSHERS:
30lb x10
(40lb x8) 2x

DB PULLOVER:
(35lb x10) 3x

     The idea for the next two exercises came from a video that I found today. You can watch it below.


SUPER ROM REAR FLY:
20lb x5
(15lb x10) 3x

SUPER ROM FIZED BAR FRONT RAISE:
(20lb x10) 3x

ISOLATERAL SHOULDER PRESS:
(+10lb x8) 2x

REVERSE PEC DEC:
60lb x10
60lb x8
60lb x5

     I was toasted by those last flys. I was going to do the cross body cable Y that was in that video as well, but I just didn't have it in me. Nothing earth-shattering tonight, but I'm pleased; I guess.
     We went out for sushi last night to celebrate our anniversary, I didn't overeat but I know that it totally busted my macros. Then we had a cupcake for dessert. I'm not beating myself up for it - it was our anniversary for God's sake. I got back on the macro train today but the ride sucked and I want to complain to the owner of the railroad. I'm not able to hit the targets, I'm just not. I'm starting to really hate this even though I know it's what I should be doing. I'm hoping this is just a speed bump that I'll get over soon. 
     The gym was super busy when we got there and then all of a sudden -poof! All of the people cleared out. I swear, people seem to be doing like, 5 reps and calling it a night. Maybe they're right and I'm doing too much? I dunno. I might be, but I find it enjoyable so I like to do a lot. 
     Tomorrow is squat day. Here's to hoping my knees hold out.
