Started with deadlift working up to 4 sets of 4 reps @RPE7-8ish. Still working back up after back injury, feeling good about this.  Supersetted bench with DL. I worked up to a top set @RPE8, then backed off 15% for 4x6. Shoulder feeling pretty good and I am pleased about the top set @ 185#.  Then I did split squats with DB's and finished up with a giant/drop set of DB shoulder (steep incline) starting at 45# for AMRAP and just working my way down the ladder to failure.  Solid WO.

Started with squat, knees beat up from hiking and stuff this weekend, but surprisingly felt pretty darn good during squats today after warming up.  Worked up to a set @RPE 8ish and then backed off for 2 sets. Next I supersetted bench and DB SLDL.  Bench I worked up to a top set of 10 reps @RPE 8 (5# heavier than last week, and lower RPE) and then backed off 15% for 2x10.  SLDL I did DB's and pushed them out in front of me at the bottom to target the hamstrings. It worked, can feel it in my hamstrings big time right now as I write this.  Finished up with a giant set of DB incline, just resting long enough to write reps in notebook and grab other DB's. Solid WO.

Supersetted with bench where I worked up to a set @PRE8, then backed off 15% for 3 sets. Next I did split squats with DB's.  Finished up with a giant set of DB shoulder press.  Rested just enough to pick new DB's and jot down weight/reps. Took each set to near failure.
