Bench press: 3 sets, 35 lbs (115 lbs total)
Incline press: 2 sets, 20 lbs (85 lbs total)
Dumbell press: 2 sets, 35 lbs (70 lbs total)
Inline dumbell press: 2 sets, 35 lbs (70 lbs total) (+10 from last week)
Seated flies: 2 sets, 80 lbs

Incline dumbell presses are getting pretty close to the regular incline bench, which I guess means two things. First, that those muscle groups are getting much closer to parity side-to-side. Second, that I need to up the weight on the incline bench next week.

Medial shoulder raise: 3 sets, 15 lbs (30 lbs total)
Hammer Strength shoulder press: 2 sets, 60 lbs
Dumbell shoulder press: 2 sets, 25 lbs (50 lbs total)
Anterior shoulder raise: 2 sets, 15 lbs (30 lbs total) (+5)

Well, I said that I’d move up on the anterior raises, and I did. Cool. The Hammer Strength shoulder machine is a real love/hate with me. Sometimes it feels good, but sometimes the left side of my lower back gets tweaked. I need to figure out what the difference is.

Tricep pulldowns - V grip: 3 sets, 45 lbs
Tricep pulldowns - rope: 2 sets, 25 lbs (+2.5)
Tricep kickbacks - rope: 2 sets, 20 lbs

For the pulldowns, we’ve moved to the outside of the cage, so the measurements are different. I did the same effective weight on the V grip, and increased the rope a little.
