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

BW - 206 (whoa, wtf?)

Bench-
BarX15
95X5
130X3
145X3
165X6

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

Chins - BWX9,4

Ridiculously wide-grip Pulldowns - 4 sets of 10-12

BB Curls -
BarX10
65X5
BarX35

Felt like complete ass all day, but still had an 80% session, and actually felt a bit better afterwards.

165X6 on bench is right in line with my recent PR's, and ties my all-time 6 rep PR.

With inclines, I felt able to up the weight a bit this week which was nice.

Assy feeling and weirdly high BW were not a good combination on chins.

I'm switching to wide-grip pulldowns for this cycle.  My gym has a couple, and one is this crazy wide, like 45 degrees out from my shoulders, grip bar.  I decided to use that one.  Very short ROM with this bar, but I could still feel the muscles working so we'll see.

35 reps with the empty bar was a super-solid PR on curls.  I'm looking to hit 40 once or twice before I up the weight a bit.
