All numbers in lbs. Fuck splitting upper body into two days. I did it all today:

140x4
Lat pull downs

Flat bench 180°
185x8
205x6
225x4
Incline bench
115x8
125x6

Something is wrong with my left shoulder/deltoid. It makes incline bench very difficult.

75(2)x4
Dumbbell open wrist curls
35(2)x8

Finally started on a lifting routine again today. Need to work out where I'm at in terms of strength, etc, though. Here's how it went
Shoulders & legs
Lat raises: 12 reps @ 5Kg, 4 reps @ 7.5Kg, 3 reps @ 6Kg
Upright rows: 8 reps @ 30Kg, 6 reps @ 30Kg, 4 reps @ 30Kg
Behind neck press: 8 reps @ 20Kg, 5 reps @ 20Kg, 3 reps @ 20Kg
Squats: 12 reps @ 20kg, 8 reps @ 20Kg, 6 reps @ 20Kg
Deadlifts: 5 reps @ 40Kg
I was initially planning to pyramid the weight up, but I think I started it too high. Feels bad being so low again, but at least I'm getting back into it. I'm probably going to change the behind press to military press, and I'm thinking about adding shrugs. Chest and biceps day tomorrow.

Doing the linear progression from
Greyskull:
34 y/o male, 5"9' 155#
press 70#: 5, 5, 14
EZ curl 55#: 15, 15
squat 175#: 5, 5, 11
3 sets of 6 burpees in 18 seconds or less, rest 1 min between each set
3 x 3 ladder chin-ups (1-2-3 each set)
"Okay (and I'm laughing now, because this is so funny), so we're A) not supposed to give you flowers, B) pay you compliments, or C) look at you. Anything else? Because I'm struggling to figure out the reason why after hearing that, I'm feeling like I'd rather get fucked in the ass by a Cape Buffalo than ever have to sit through dinner with you. Maybe you can figure it out for me. When you do, let me know. I'll be at Natasha's house."

I don't want to hijack the thread but do you guys always cardio warm up/ stretch/ foam roll before workouts? I never do and so far I seem to be doing fine I'm just wondering how it's going to work out in the long run. Anyway here's the workout I did today:
running a standard 5x5 stronglifts
Squat 5x5 230lb
Bench 5x5 160lb
Rows 5x5 160lb (I think I'm not pushing myself enough on this lift but I find it way too uncomfortable after the first two reps and I just stick with a weight I can handle relatively easily)
EDIT: I do warm up sets with 1/4, 1/2 weight before the full weight lift

All the exercises you're doing don't require much mobility, although I question your squats. Some people are lucky and have fine ankle/hip/glute mobility and can do great squats without much prep.
For me proper warm-up is critical if you're going to squat heavy weights (+300lbs), and to get the most of the exercise and a good ROM you need to really get those joints nice and limber.
A year from now you'll wish you started today

how old are you?
because once you reach a certain age, I think that the answer to this question becomes self evident
i used to hate warming up, thought it was a waste of time and energy.
now i wish the warm ups last longer. even with mobility (lacrosse ball work, foam roller etc), stretching (dynamic, static and assisted) and low weight/body weight warm ups - i still dont feel like i'm really going until midway through the real work out.
all that prep time will save you in the long run my friend.

@snowflake
mobility with the lacrosse balls in your hip flexors, grind that area out on each side for two to three minutes.
practice sitting in a full olympic squat depth
lunge complexes: forward lunge, side lunge on one side then switch over to other side: pigeon stretch, forward lunge, side lunge...switch...pigeon stretch, forward lunge, side lunge...etc for 3 minutes
body weight squat, squat jump, tuck jump x 10
these are just ideas
i'm 36 almost 37 years old man, and i can tell you that the warmup is fucking crucial.
you may not think that it is now but you could save yourself some hassle down the road by taking care of yourself now
