Notes
used a wide grip for my first five bench sets, felt pretty solid until the 78. the weight felt like it was going to crush me. i might have gotten another rep, but it felt too uncomfortable. i had expected to fail for my 5 reps today, that's what you get for taking two weeks off and hoping your maxes don't drop. i'll get the reps next week hopefully. rest of session will be done later.

Notes
did all wide grip on bench today and it was solid. even the 80 went up quickly, felt like there was another in the tank. should be good to go for tuesday. pressed for time today so doing squats and rows tomorrow.

Went to a gig last night and fell over, two guys went to pick me up but i didn't have my footing so i flipped over and faceplanted pretty hard, haha. My face is cool but my shoulder hurts a lot, i can't do a rowing motion or put my arm above my head without a lot of pain. I'll have to abandon the rest of my session and get some ice on it. But i did the bench and curls, which is all that really counts.

Shoulder still hurts but i can do a full external rotation without much pain. I'm hoping it'll be good to go tomorrow

shoulder hurt but got through it, definitely made benching harder. was nice to set some PRs though. squats were solid. PR'd on close grip and curls too, but i don't like to brag.

Notes
Bench was a bit of an epic fail today. Shoulder was still tender which combined with the new wide grip i've adopted is causing some form issues. I wasn't tight on my 82 set and the first rep crashed into me. I think i would of got anothe rep or two if that first wasn't so bad. I'll see how day three goes but i think i'll be looking at a reset next week. Sounds like i've wasted time barely breaking a PR but in all reality my first/second week was probably my 5rm due to the time off.
