Hex Bar Deads, Chest, etc.

Planks
Total time: 9:00
Regular 2:00, Right Side 2:00, Left Side 2:00, Yoga 1:00
2:00 total rest mixed in.

Hex Bar Deads
135/10, 225/5, 275/21
* Since I wasn't able to do 315/20 when I tried it, I decided to see if I could do 275/20 tonight. I knew I was good for it right away, as the first 10 or so reps flew up. I was really breathing heavy, though, by the time rep 17 hit. Perhaps I will try 285/20 next time, depending on what I'm feeling.

Decline Bench Press
Decline is supposed to be better for the shoulders, so they say. I did a bunch of reps with the bar to see if I felt any pain, and I did not. So, I decided to do three light sets.

137/12, 137/12, 137/15

* I was very conscious of my form and made sure that I did not flail my shoulders. No pain at all. If I can bench like this without pain, I will take it. Funny enough, I was really feeling my chest during these light weight sets.
