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.

Hex Bar Deads
135/10, 225/5, 275/3, 315/10
   * During the day, I put it in my mind that I was going to 315/20 tonight. When I reached the 8th rep, I knew that I wasn't going to get 20. Lost steam/motivation and put the bar down after 10. Blah.
Excuse 1: not fully recovered from the 5x5 front squat session on Tuesday.
Excuse 2 (the real answer): I'm just not ready for 315/20. Yet.
There will be other days.
