Plateaued in db shoulder presses. I started at 6 reps with 65lbs and have progressed to 5 reps with 85lbs. I hit a plateau with shrugs but I think it is just one of those weeks. Next week should be better. The db shoulder presses, I know, will not change next week so that is why I will replace them with barbell presses.
