Last couple of days I didn't feel a need to post much, so I waited till I get enough stuff to post.
In 4th week, I increased weights on Dumbbell Press to 40, and today I increased Smith Machine Squats to 35.

I finally got Smith Machine Squats routine down path. Problem was I was standing too close to the rail. 25 lbs seemed too low, so from next week I'll increase the weights to 30.
Seemed to me that SM Squats are the focal point of the entire workout even though it's the first exercise. Crunches are a daily routine for me, and leg workouts go fast.

I changed some weights on my Upper Body workout; 1 Arm Dumbbell Row from 35 to 40lbs , and Dumbbell Shrugs to 60lbs. I still have some issues with Dumbbell Press as well as Seated dumbbell Press. I might now be able to increase them yet, but I'll try.
Lateral Raises went on smoothly, which is something I should look into more thoroughly.

Lower Body workout today went pretty good. I was able to complete both sets of Reverse Crunches.
My only issue with the entire workout was that it's too short. I was done within 45 minutes with the entire routine.
Tomorrow starts 2nd week of second half with Upper Body. I'll keep 35 lbs weights for bench presses for at least next week, then I'll see if I can increase to 40.

This past Wednesday I worked on my lower body. I thought it will be easier than upper. Reverse crunches were more than I can handle. I'm supposed to do 2 sets of 30. I managed to do 1 1/2 sets, but I still marked it as done set mainly because I set this as some kind of personal goal.
I still need to work on Smith Machine Squats since I'm quite unfamiliar with it. I know of it, I know the technique, but I've never worked on it. I like the effect it has on my body, but I'm not sure why only one set. I'll keep it as scheduled for the next 6 weeks, and see the results.

Monday was my first day in new 6 week routine. Routine consits of splitting body in two parts; upper and lower. Monday was upper. Most exercises were the same as before except Flat Bench Press was replaced with Seated Dumbbell Press, and added 2 new exercises: Pec Dec Fly and 1 Arm Dumbbell Row.
First day was great, diference was obvious right away. I'm sure today will be the same, with my lower body workout.
