Shoulder Press

Did some seated dumbbell shoulder presses last night, followed up by some barbell shrugs.  Here are my sets.

10/18/11
Seated Dumbbell Shoulder Press - 5 sets
35's x 8 (warmup)
45's x 5 (warmup)
60's x 4 - PR
60's x 4 - PR
55's x 5
55's x 5
50's x 6

Barbell Shrugs - 3 sets
135x10 (warmup)
185x8
205x7
205x6

One thing you can tell by reading my workout posts is that I don't do a lot of exercises at the gym.  The most I do is 3, and on very rare occasions I'll fit in a 4th exercise.  Instead, I try to hammer out 4-5 really heavy sets on my main lift (in this case shoulder press), and then try to fit in the other shit however I can.  Since I get to the gym so late, time is a big deal to me.  This helps me maximize the big lifts, and still get out of the gym in under an hour.  

And by the way, 60lbs in each hand is a personal record for me.  I know, it's pathetically light, but shoulders have really been a lowlight for me.  I'll note anytime I can up the poundage on any of these lifts.
