DME Bench

At the start of the workout my pecs were more sore than they've ever been. Not sure what exactly did that, but I suspect it was the extra volume after the heavy work. I didn't even do any pec isolation on wednesday, so the soreness surprised me.

Foam Roller Bench:
going for a max single w/ pause; foam roller is 2.5 boards?
315 x 1 (smoke show)
335 x 1
355 x 1
365 x 1

All of them felt easy. I should have tried 375+.

Band-lighened Bench:
speed work w/ quadded minis. Paused on the chest for these too.

205 x 4
225 x 4, 3 sets

Never felt so light, which was awesome.

Military Press:
135 x 1, 9
I thought my pecs were tired, but the first rep was like fire on my shoulders. I could barely do it but then I warmed up more and finished the set.
145 x 10
165 x 6
145 x 10

These also felt much easier than in the past, despite my soreness.

Finished with a super set of leg raises and close grip pull ups (~100 total?)

My pecs were so sore I could not lower the bar while benching in any reasonable manner, in other words I was just letting the bar drop to my chest.
