Had a birthday blow-out for the wife on the night before, so I was pretty gassed on this day.  One symptom of that, was that the unrack on most of the bench sets felt awkward and unstable.  Nevertheless, the weight went up fine and 145X11 is a Rep PR, and a nice, tiny uptick in E1RM over the other weeks on the program.

Being tired and dehydrated, I dropped the weight back a bit on incline.  This was the right choice.

Flyes and Pushdowns.
