LE Bench

Went to wash u's gym today. They have nice bars with sharp grip. Also there were like 6 people there (granted, it was noon...). But mostly 4 squat racks and 4 platforms.

Bench:
275 x 5, 2 sets (unpaused)
225 x 11 (paused)

The spotter for the first two sets started helping whenever I paused on my chest, so I ended up giving up and just doing touch and go. I got a different spotter for the last set and paused those.

Incline Dumbbell Bench:
90 x 4 (had incline too high)
80 x 8
85 x 7
90 x 6

Wash U's dumbbells go up to 125. Too bad I wasn't man enough to use them.

Cable Bench:
there was this weird cable bench machine that was like a cross between a fly and a bench. Lots of pecs.

26 weights(?) x 10
24 weights x 8, 10, 11

One arm tricep extension:
db x arm
35 x 10
40 x 10
45 x 10
50 x 10

Finished with two sets of bodyweight dips til failure + scap pulls
