W6D3 ME UB

I was concerned about my bench since I haven’t done straight bench in a number of months. I’ve done a lot more triceps work and close benching, but not much direct chest work. I felt like I could hit my last max of 315, but I held back out of concern. Instead of focusing as much on the total weight, I focused on form and efficiency. Writing this up the day after, I’m surprised I have no second-day soreness. My right trapezius has been sore for several weeks, but it didn’t seem to affect my bench effort too much.

bench: 135×5, 165×5, 195×5, 225×3, 255×2, 275×1, 295×1, 225×5 (two sets)
rope pressdown: 10×6, 12×6, 14×6 (four sets)
barbell row: 135×6, 185×5 (three sets)
face pull: 8×8, 9×8, 10×8
