115x5
115x5

-> this weight was tough but felt good. I didn't lose too much strength. I'm a happy power-lifter.

Foam Roller Bench Press
135x5 (easy)
185xFAIL -> 155x2? ... I made a joke about upping the weight to 185 and Dave called me on it.
135x5 (pretty tough after all that fun with 185 haha, 185 was easy to control down but not up!!)
135x5

Medium Grip Behind-the-Head Lat Pulldowns 3x8
120x8
120x8
120x8

Incline Bench
-> all with pauses
95x5+fail (off of lower pecs)
75x7 (off of upper pecs just below clavicle -> these made my right shoulder feel uncomfortable. I didn't like the tension I was feeling so I stopped).

Bent-Over Rows 2x10
95x10 (easy)
95x10 (last reps TOUGH)

--> I ran out of time to do more back exercises. I am satisfied with today's bench work though!
