9-15-10 Another Depressing Bench and Heavy Singles Workout

Bench
195 x 1 @ 8
205 x 1 @ 9
220 x fail Failed a few inches off chest
210 x 1 @ 10 This one was pretty slow with my left arm extending before the right so it was slanted going up
195 x 3 @ 10 the last rep was also slanted wtf

I went with John to Altadena 24 today and he gave me liftoffs. The benches there are really low so I always hit the standards when I unrack it and my legs feel cramped which limits leg drive. I think being sick really does make me weaker. Also I have not really done bench assistance work this cycle. I simply can't do foam roller/board press without 2 partners. I was making better gains doing flat bench twice a week with a ME and and RE day. I thought I had gotten stronger when I hit 185 x 8 and 205 x 3, but I have lost this strength since vacation or it had no carry over to my max.

Push Press
95 x 3
115 x 3 @ 8
135 x fail I actually got 2 reps with help of a spotter aka team lifting
125 x 3 @ 9
125 x 3 @ 8
135 x 1 + fail PR I probably could have done another rep, but I gave up before really trying.

Incline Dumbbell Press
60's x 10 with elbows a little past 90 degrees
30's x 10 going down way farther to hit chest harder
45's x 10 x 2 going down all the way

Front Shoulder Raises
15's x 10 x 3

Lat Pull Down
