Spent 9 hours yesterday at a music festival standing around in the sun and drinking beer.  I did okay on getting some food and water in, but between that and having one-to-many cups of coffee before training, my bench day got off to a bit of a shaky start.

That being said, being off 2 reps total on my 50% sets on bench from last session isn't really worrisome.  I've got two more bench sessions on this cycle, and my goal is 15 reps.  Still confident I'll get there.

Matched my chins from last time, but it was a grind.

And I hit my DB Incline goal +1!  I'll probably just stay with the 55s and keep pushing the first set, while working to stay at that weight on subsequent sets and get 8+ reps per set.
