Lifting: r1w1 upper-body

Felt pretty solid this morning, hit 295 bench with hardly any effort, I’m confident that I could do 325, but I need a spotter before I attempt. The next two weeks I’ll work on 5x5s to increase overall strength. The next two weeks are focused on recovery and building strength, plenty of rest and stretching between max effort days.

Did a bit of cleanup, but nothing too demanding for the rest of the workout.

bench-press: 135×8, 165×6, 195×6, 225×6, 255×6, 285×3, 295×1 (two sets)
close-grip bench: 135×10, 155×8, 185×5 (two sets)
cable crossover: 5×8, 6×6
cuff: 4×6 (pull: two sets), 5×6 (extension: two sets), 3×6 (hip: two sets)
