Yeah...but couldn't you do 3 reps with the 405, 1 rep with the 455 and then start working sets from there?

Normally that's exactly how I would do it, but since I've been doing it that way for a long time I figured it'd be good to try something else for a while. Also, since I was only planning on doing one set at that working weight, the extra reps during those last warmups helped to tax the muscle a bit more.

Still slowly increasing the total number of sets
Squats (ass to the floor, no belt)
395lbs 3x5, 315lbsx8
Hack Squat (60 degree incline)
2 plates and a 35lb'er on each side 10, 8, 8
Lying Hamstring Curls
3x10
Seated calve raises
5x12-15 with a drop on last set
2 sets of 15 reps on standing raises in hack squat machine
Abs (done on steep decline bench, I lower myself halfway down and hold for a slow count of 5 then back up, that's one rep)
5x8 with a 45lb plate

I could really feel my bad rotator cuff affecting my strength today so strength was less than usual, but my main concern was being able to add weight every week, which i was able to do
Flat bench
305lbs 3x5
Incline dumbell press
100's 8,8,6 reps
Incline flyes
75's 10,8 reps
Horizontal Hammer Strength Chest Press
120lbs per side 10, 8 with a drop set at the end
Calves
calf press with 45 degree leg press
6x15 reps
Seated calve raises
2x15 reps
i also did some light and fast tricep work
I will continue to add sets over the next couple weeks to bring up the volume

Actually I'm assuming it's my rotator cuff but I've never had it properly diagnosed. It hadn't bothered me for a couple years, but a few months ago I hurt something in there doing heavy military press.
After some of my workouts I do some of the exercises from the "7 minute rotator cuff solution", seems to be helping a bit

I find doing single arm slightly leaning to the oppsite side dumbell shoulder presses (hand on something for stability) are great for building up tissue strength, stability and improving the cuffs when done in a slow and controlled fashion.
It require quite a bit of balance, and thus why it works so well for that. Much like overhead squats do in a way

Excellent! Numbers are looking good man. Hope that rotator work helps.
