Warmups
Bench: warmups, 110x5, 130x4, 150x3x2, 170x3x3, 182.5x3, 190x3, 195x2
Sumo deadlift to knees: warmups, 110x4, 135x4x2, 160x3x2, 180x2x4

Notes
Pretty good day.  Bench isn't feeling the absolute greatest, but still wen't heavier.  195 is the heaviest I have really benched in 10years, and it could have been 3 but the nerves got the better of me.  Needed to be a lot more aggressive with the weight.  But still..  the reality is 190 is an all-time PR for me (10 years to the month, to beat it), and the 195 equals the PR for doubles.    I think I need to add back the boards to get used to a much larger weight routinely.  Hopefully add a fair bit more confidence under the weight. 
Now I have a weekish off the gym, maybe some light stuff, and then into a different structure for Sheiko.  A bench only CMS/MS that has more volume and frequency.  Gonna be interesting.  Also no squats/deads for at least 8 weeks.

Went in slightly nervous about the pec, but nothing wrong with it.  Shoulder felt good too.  Kept things tight and focused.  Weights easy enough I eased up to 170 for some of the work sets.  Squat felt good, just kept back some of the main volume, and did the full work set volume.

Treadmill: 20mins
Shoulder press, incline press, Rear delts, flyes,
Treadmill: 5mins

Notes
eh, felt ok except the incline.  I did bb cos I dislike trying to pick up the stupid dbs at my gym.  But when lifting out i felt a slight thing in my pec.  Didnt cause any pain/issue while lifting but felt too similar to want to push anything.

Notes
Cleared out my garage and spare room over the weekend (and a little bit of the yard).  Even with wife and two kids helping it was still an enormous amount of crap.  15k steps per day and lifting.  Sore in all the places that weightlifting never uses.   Plus a really garbage sleep (wee pain).  Even though.  Bench has rebounded off the fatigue nicely.

Notes
Ran late, got out without flyes/stuff.  Doh.  Bench was all good, got a bit tanked by the full range but eh, ok.  The boards were just strong work.  Deadlift was eh, but getting there.  Thumbs hurt like hell from the hook grip.   Hands feeling beaten from the grip/bench/deadlift.

Wednesday 2nd May 2018

Treadmill: 6mins
Bench: warmups, 107.5x6, 127.5x5, 147.5x4x2, 157.5x3x2, 167.5x2x2, 157.5x3x2, 147.5x4, 137.5x6, 127.5x8, 107.5x10
Flyes, rear delt, grip stuff
Treadmill: 15mins

Notes
Still not feeling the best.  Not helped by picking the odd bench out for my session, where the height is low, the top wobbles and is slightly rounded rather than completely flat.  Still did all reps.  Pushed flyes quite heavy, which means the chest feels tuckered out now.
