2/20 – Incline Bench 5’s

Real strong pressing today. My left shoulder (rear delt) was feeling really weird during incline warmups (sharp pain at the bottom of each rep), but that subsided as I kept increasing weight. Wasn’t really bothering me on the 225 set so I put the target weight on and went for it – matched last cycle’s 17 reps with an added 5lbs. Opted to do cg bench instead of db bench today (easier on the shoulder) and hit a PR there too, despite not having done cg bench in quite a while. Finished with some strong rows, and slow preacher curls.
