ME Bench

Incline Bench:
225 x 3
275 x 1
285 x 1
295 x 1
305 x fail

Not bad. I think that's a PR.

Close-grip Pin Presses
All I have here is my greens. The power rack here has no hooks for bands and I can't choke them on it, so I dragged over the 140s. I tried quadding them, but I couldn't get the bare more than a few inches off the pins(!), so I went just with choking the bands off the dumbbell. maybe 30-40lbs at the top?

The pins were set to 1" above my chest.

135 x 10
185 x 8
225 x 5
235 x 5
245 x 4 + 1 fail

Seated Military Press:
The military rack here is really awkward to take the weight out of, and no was around to help, so I just set the on the safeties and started cold for each set.

135 x 10, 2 sets
155 x 8, 2 sets

My shoulders were exhausted by the 3rd and 4th sets. Perhaps the inclines did it?

(super set)

Finished with the hydraulic machine abs since I hadn't done those in lonnng while.
