Bench Day

Gym Temp: 75°
Music: We as Human, "self titled"

Warm up w/ Kettlebell Halos

2" Axle Bench (all reps paused on chest, the goal here is to work hard on benching but in a different way, using a different bar, same but different concept, keep the body guessing)
140 x 8
160 x 6
250 x 5
290 x 3
340 x 2
390 x 1
415 x 1***PR
430 x 1***PR!! - haven't done these in a while so a 20 lbs. PR is OK.

Slingshot Bench (medium grip with pinkies on 32" rings, touch and go style)
425 x 3, 3

JM Press
95 x 10
105 x 10 - my elbows and shoulders were pretty sore so I dropped the weight considerably and did some light/slow reps just to feel the triceps working.

Alternate Dumbbell Curls
60s x 5, 5

Much better day today, got my confidence back.  My lower back is still out of sorts so I need to continue working on some recovery. Hoping that as my volume decreases the healing will increase.
