Weight has been holding steady at 200 for a week or so, and then dipped down, so I ate it back up.
Both myself and my spotter lost track of the # of reps on my back-off set. I lost track around 10 or 11, and then got 1 or 2 more. My spotter said "Not sure, I think like 14." But I told him I was going for 13, and I think he was just being 'positive.' I'll just assume I matched last week and move forward.
201 (BW)+25X9 is a Rep PR. Interestingly, my right triceps was feeling aggravated by this movement. I guess the triceps does cross the shoulder (see: Rolling Triceps Extensions), and my triceps have had a lot of soreness so far on this program, plus the bench beforehand...it was just weird.
I upped the weight on the DB Inclines a bit. The effect here was like 50% sets with the 50s though. Instead of stopping after the 5 rep set, or gutting out a couple more sets of 5-or-less sets, I decided to drop the weight and get some better volume.
