I've been dying to try rack pulls but my gym doesn't have a power rack, just a squat rack.

Chest/Triceps/Forearm Extensors/Abs (flexors)

Decline Press
3 sets 6 reps 235lbs.

Bench Press* done 4th due to bench being taken
3 sets 5 reps 205lbs.

Incline Dumbbell Press
3 sets 5 reps 90lbs.

Weighted Triceps Dips
3 sets 6 reps 85lbs.

Seated Overhead EZ Bar Triceps Extensions
3 sets 6 reps 75lbs.+bar

Dumbbell Wrist Extensions
3 sets 7 reps 20lbs.

Hammer Strength Abdominal Crunch
3 sets 6 reps 85lbs.

Everything felt very heavy and I really had to push myself, yesterday. Plateaued on bench press but it was due to the fact that I had to perform it later in the workout due to the gym being very busy. I was able to finish three exercises and there were still the same two clowns on the both benches. Apparently, everyone is doing German Volume Training...I guess.

Nice weighted dips I see you are getting your strength back up in that exercise. Most people do more talking than than exercising and have no consideration for the people waiting to use the equipment.

T-Bar Rows
3 sets 6 reps 165lbs.

Yates Rows
3 sets 5 reps 215lbs.

3 Point Dumbbell Rows - Prone Hand Position
3 sets 6 reps 95lbs.

EZ Bar Biceps Curls

2 sets 5 reps 80lbs.+bar

Life Fitness Preacher Curls
3 sets 6 reps 145lbs.

Dumbbell Wrist Curls

Life Fitness Torso Rotation

Yates Rows could use a little work on technique for next week. I wasn't comfortable with the form, it felt like I was cheating too much on two sets. Plateaued on my last two sets of EZ Bar Curls but otherwise it was a very good workout.

I have a short term goal of getting back to that 100lb. dumbbell. Socializing should be kept to a minimum, when the gym is busy, out of common courtesy, to other members.

Good luck with your goal I am sure you will hit 100lbs. You have always been strong on dipping exercises. I agree come to the gym to work out or get out of the way. It is inconsiderate to the other lifters to hog the equipment.

Cool. I had so much on my mind that day I was not even aware what those numbers stood for until later towards the end of the night.

Chest/Forarms

Incline Barbell Press

225lbs 6
230lbs 4
235lbs 3
240lbs 2
245lbs 1

Flat Dumbell Bench Press

100lbs 7,6,6

Weighted Chests Dips

87 1/2lbs 5
85lbs 4

Wrist Curl over bench with barbell

90lbs 11,10,9

Reverse G. Curl with barbell

100lbs 6,6,5

I was able to keep up my strength levels even though I had only one meal before my workout. Dips sucked though adding that extra weight felt like a ton. I am thinking of doing two regular weighted dips and doing two dips where I start at the lowest point and only go up to half way point. I tried them and it really stretched my chest and could feel it significantly hit my triceps at the same time.
