5/3/1 BBB: Cycle 1. Week 2. Bench

BW - 200

Bench -
BarX15
95X5
125, 145X3
160X6

Incline -
95X10, 10
105X10, 10, 10

Chins - BWX10, 7

Pull-Downs - 5 sets of 12-15

80% session.  Super-solid.  Was just gonna look for an easy 5 reps on my top set of bench, but 6 turned out to be just as easy.  No grinding, just getting a few extra reps before moving on to the BBB sets.

Switched to the shallower incline bench so I could up the weight a bit and bring some more pressure onto my chest.  Had to tweak my set-up a lot.  I don't want this to be a technical lift for me, but I still need to feel solid under the bar.

Solid 50% set on chins.

Pull-downs felt good.  Keeping my shoulder blades back, and pulling my elbows down.  No bicep effort at all, but my lats were feeling good and worked.
