last day of work before school starts up, went to the gym after

Chest- flat db press- 85s 6+4+2=12 rp
Shoulder- Smith Machine seated press- 185 7+4+3=14rp
Tris- BB skullcrusher 70lbs 10+6+4=20rp
BW- hammer pulldown 230 6+4+3=13rp
BT- deads- 315-6, 275-9

Some things I have noticed during my brief DC stint:
1)I have to rewire my brain and body to go all out, especially during that first set. Looking at my numbers, i can tell that i am saving some for the later sets, a practice that previous training methods taught me to do. i think if i bump the weight up a little and give it my all on that first set, then stuggle to put up some decent numbers on the last two, i will have better results. or i could just be talking out of my ass. this seems to be the case with my BW and Tri exercises especially.
2) i know most of you prob warm up with my heavy dead set, but i was happy with it considering i could maybe get that weight up for two a month or two ago
3) i cant get the tricep stretch down without it feeling like my shoulder is being severed, leading to brief stretch periods on that particular muscle. Any tweaks or alt. stretches anyone has discovered would be appreciated
