Just back from Sweden and it feels good to train again. Had to keep this workout short though due to external time commitments.
Bench:
265 x 5
275 x 5, 5
265 x 5
Todd suggested dropping the weight some for my RE days in order to recover more. Given that 275 is around 85% of my max, I decided to try backing off more with lighter sets. We'll see how it works.
Push Press:
135 x 8
155 x 7, 8
185 x 5, 5
Apparently, I'm unusual in that I do these starting from a split stance, so the push press is just based on one leg's thrust. Less bar speed I guess, but everyone thought my form was good. I'm liking how these feel for my lockouts.
Finished with cable triceps and biceps. I can tell that I haven't been hitting triceps very hard lately (due to the elbow pain) as the extensions felt harder than I remembered. Need to work on that.

How was Sweden? Was it like one giant Ikea store? Were there meatballs and lingonberries?
Sweden was hot. Like 90s + 80% humidity. The Swedish don't believe in A/C either.
I had real trouble finding much traditional Swedish food. I had to go to the grocery store to find lingonberry anything. They do sell giant bags of meatballs there though.
