ME Upper Body

I decided to try my luck at benching since my press seemed to be regressing. There were twinges of pain but nothing like before.

Bench Press
Me: 275x1 (felt pretty damn easy), 290x0x2 (got it 3 or 4 inches off my chest)
G/f: 85x1, 100x0x2 (she got it off her chest which is a big improvement, which tells me that she needs to bring up her lats)

Machine Row
3 sets each

Scarecrows
3 sets each

Felt gassed this whole workout. Disappointed that I couldn't hit 200 on the press. It was a goal of mine before the month was out and I seem to be regressing. I had trouble with 185 where a few months ago I did it for two.

Start my new eating plan tomorrow...we'll see if improved nutrition will help. I've officially maxed out my bathroom scale even though my gut hasn't gotten any bigger. Which means I've gained about 20-30 lbs of lean mass in the past several months. Which is good, but I would like my gut to shrink some and my thighs to fit into my jeans again.
