Not the greatest resumption of upper body stuff today. Need to get my head back in the game. Also, after not bothering me at all Saturday or Sunday, my glute got tweaky again as soon as I started warming up in the gym. It was less bothersome than Friday, but still noticeable. Lacrosse ball helped. I am acting under the assumption that I will still be squatting a heavy ramping 5x5 tomorrow.
Press
215x4 - failed 5th rep, 225x1
Notes: The 4th moved fast, so no doubt I would have gotten the 5th. Except I didn't tighten and lock my wrists properly, and on the bounce, they unlocked and I had to get the bar under control. That effort, combined with a bit of apprehension about it, got me off my groove and I failed my second attempt at rep 5. Rested a couple minutes and did a single at 225, which was pretty fast and smooth.
I'm upset and frustrated about this, 215x5 is a press weight I first hit almost a year ago and should be piece of cake, but I know the circumstances were off. I should have ramped back up after a de-load week, and my shoulder is still not 100%. Still, it's frustrating.
Bench Press
295x5, 305x5, 315x5, 295x5 (first rep of this set paused)
Notes: Though I made all my reps, this was also frustrating. I just feel weak on this movement, especially in my left arm and shoulder. Though the pain is mostly gone, it's obviously still affecting my pressing. I feel like it's throwing my position off as well, in terms of bar placement. Bleh.
Weighted Chins
BW+50 x5x3
Notes: Getting hard to make my reps.
Cable Rows
200x10x3
KB Press
70x5x2
(just did these since I wanted more pressing work after feeling shitty about the missed rep at 215)
EZ Curl Bar OH Tricep Extensions
Bar + 80 x 9, 13
Notes: Wrists bothered me on the first set so I stopped early. Narrowed my grip and was much better on set 2.
