Notes
Should used my head really. Erectors were toasted, shoulders/chest tight and sore. Sleep garbage, and a lot on elsewhere, with no real break for the last fortnight. So, I should have just stuck to the work sets but instead the plan was to test a 3RM, but it was not in me today.
Probably need to reassess the plan slightly, and think about what exercises work. I liked pin press, but doesn't expose me to heavier % benching. This cycle was actually not a lot of real bench, but accessories. So next cycle will reassess that. As my work sets are comfortably (7.5kg) higher than when I tripled 190, but I am not getting a matching increase. That could be 1) fatigue/external stress, 2) not working high enough % in actual bench, 3) something else I am not aware of, or 4) a combination of these.
