    Too damn cold and windy in the Stables for longer rest periods.

    First press workout in 9 weeks without a Wt, Rep, or Set PR. Technically, I did two more reps @ 155 than last volume session.

    For those of you thinking the problem is something else, I agree.

    Thanks.

    Plugging along, but 5x5 at this Wt progression may be coming to an end.

    Felt strain/pull across the top of left shoulder on the 145 warm up set. Had me concerned but focused on elbow position and touch point - no trouble in later sets.

    All R3's grindy. Especially S1 due to low touch and bad upward path.

    Good on that 3x3. You only train presses at this moment?

    Have you chronic pain on that shoulder?

    When I feel a "strain" in a shoulder between bench press sets; I hang from the chin-up bar and wait 5 seconds, then I feel better. It stretchs your shoulder tendon and your shoulder girdle.

    No. This just seemed be one of those odd occurrences.

    Logged it in case it proves to be something in the next few weeks.

    a) Bad form (may have pushed all too far forward)
    b) Diet (not enough carbs. prioritizing Wt loss, protein & fat are filling)
    c) Programming (been running this for 4.5 months with consistent PR's)
    d) Confidence (I'm a pussy, poor expression of a human male)
    e) One of those "days."
    f) All of the above.
