Nice bench session. The first few workouts after a deload week are always great. That ache in my back (it’s either the lower lat insertion, or lower traps) is still there. It’s hard to tell if it’s more imagined or real at this point. Anyways, bench felt good - I could have hit a few more reps on my heaviest set. CG bench was very nice, and I stayed lighter on standing militaries, for my back’s sake.
