This workout was pretty epic as far as benching goes for me. Warmups felt really solid, very fast and easy. Target today was 325 for a single, hit that with ease. Could have done 5-6 with it. My all-time best ‘full-rom’ bench PR is 335 (done way back last April), so I opted to go for 345. Smoked it, then went for 355 and got that as well. Might have been able to grind out a 2nd rep with it, but I was very pleased with that. Did a triple with 315 then did some paused work to finish flat bench. Moved to singles on decline and incline, where I continued to add weight on the incline. Shoulder is still feeling great. Hit some dead-hang hammer chins for my back - these are always absolutely brutal and fatiguing. Ended the session with a handful of easy, totally discomfort-free bodyweight dips. Another good sign that my shoulder is nearing 100% (if it’s not there already).
