Paused a good few of the main set reps and the last reps of the pump sets as the weights felt very comfortable, felt as though I had more than five reps in me on the first set. Pleased with how bench is going.

Failed the 125, just missed the line on it and failed halfway, may have been too big a jump from the 112.5 so dropped back and did a solid rep at 120 then got some work in.

Yes mate, resting it until it's right. I had a 5 hour round trip in the car today and it's the first time it didn't ache, and it's felt better over the last couple of days getting up from sitting etc, so hopefully should be able to get back to squatting and full range deads soon.

The stiff leg deads and good mornings should keep me in some kind of shape for now.

Just getting used to working around the 115 to 120 level regularly, and keeping the reps strict, not needing any psyching up and not grinding. 115 was heavy enough to achieve this tonight. Pleased with the 110's a triple there but the 3rd would've been grinders.
