Today was a pretty awesome training session. I felt pretty much in the groove when I was benching, although unracking the weights myself and benching without a spotter may have caused me to lose a rep or two from what I could have done. I improved notably from last week on the assistance exercises as well, on both weight and reps in some cases. I'm liking this rest-pause thing.

Why are your weights so light still? It's been several weeks of 5/3/1 and you're still hitting high reps on your last set.
Its the way the program works. I just finished my second cycle of 5/3/1, and I added the 5lbs to my max and started over with the percentages for my third cycle. Its a slow, long term progression sort of thing. I may can it after this cycle though, due to the slow progress.
Why not add 10lbs? Or adjust the program so that you're not hitting so many reps? 5/3/1 is a solid program but no program is entirely formulaic.
Why didn't you just test your max and use that?
