Fought through the polar vortex to get to the gym.  Only did a bit of a half session because motivation was low.  Pushed Inclines and Hack Squats up a bit for fun.

215+ for 5 sets of 2 is a Volume PR on Bench.  Bench technique is really clicking in.

Mixed things up a bit after bench today.  Because I'd cut Deficits from the previous session because of the gym closing, and because Squatting is still bothering my shoulder, I only worked up to a single on Pause Squats and then worked up to one set of the programmed back-off sets on Deficits.

Because I'm enjoying the way bench technique is feeling, I decided to work up to a heavy single on the Cambered Bar to see how that would feel.  Felt great. 

Ended up dropping Machine Flyes.  Was ready to go home.

Bench went pretty well today.  But every thing else was flat to down.  Maybe just the tough session from Monday lingering, but shoulder was mostly ok. 

Oh, 320X1 is a PR on Pause Squats.
