Decline Presses Return!!! Update on Boot camp results, 3 months in

Decline Bench Press
132/15, 182/10, 202/8, 202/7, 202/7

Overhead Press
93/5, 133/5, 143/5, 143/5, 143/7

15 Degree Incline DB Press

Hammer Strength Incline
180/8, 180/7, 180/7 (not counting machine weight)

* I'm sure my shoulder will tell me that trying the declines was stupid, but I made sure that I was extra careful with the lift off and that I moved the bar in the plane that did not cause pain. As you can see, I kept the weight pretty light, just to see if I could do the movement pain free. Also, I haven't benched in forever, so I had no idea what to expect. I didn't experience any pain during any of the sets, so hopefully that means I can work these in more often. Let's see how the next few days feel. Obviously, the 15 degree DB's were weaker because I performed them third tonight.    

* As I have alluded to, I started boot camp classes about three months ago. My starting weight and body fat were 225 lbs. @ 19.9%. As of this past Sunday, I weighed in at 216 lbs. @ 16.7% body fat. In addition, I have cracked down on my diet since I started boot camp, which likely plays the biggest role in my results.
