147.4 lbs
Deadlift 235/6
Pullover 130/5
Incline Press 50s/5
Actually played basketball before I went to workout. Although I did not feel any weaker or more fatigued, I'm still not sure if that may have affected my efforts in the weight room that day. I was able to increase my deadlift by 10 pounds while doing one more rep since my last deadlift workout which was great. My pullover went up by 5 pounds but I was still only able to pull out 5 reps which was the same as last time. Hopefully next time I can do at least 6 reps. However I was feeling it that day and I am still feeling the effects today. Same goes with my incline press which did not go up in reps or weight even though my pecs are extremely sore today. As Mike Mentzer said, progress is not measured through pump or soreness but by the results recorded in your training journal. So I will see how the next pullover/incline press workout goes. One more workout of no progress and I might increase rest days or scale back the weight to aim for more reps.
Something that has been bothering me about the Pullover is that a I lower on the negative, I feel my left shoulder almost pop out of its socket, then sort of pop back into place on the positive phase. There is no pain or difficulty in movement in any direction so I do not know exactly if I should be concerned. I really like the Nautilus Pullover and I would like to keep it in my routine for as long as possible.
