the best part of waking up...

Knowing I'm going to bench press gets me out of bed Monday mornings. Had I not been motivated by the bench I might still be in bed.

• bench press
• warm-up
• 1 x 12 w/ the bar
• 1 x 10 @ 135 lbs, feet up
• work sets
• 1 x 12 @ 155
• 2 x 10 @ 165
• close-grip bench
• 1 x 10 @ 145
• 1 x 12 @ 145
• incline bench
• 1 x 12 @ 115
• 1 x 12 @ 125
• dips
• 30

Did not feel good today. Starting with the flat bench, 165 is more than I've been doing on my light chest days but this felt not good. I could not find a rhythm. Nothing felt great after that. Concentrate on getting the lats involved.
This workout made me feel that I should change something. I still want to do these lifts on Monday but probably should mix up the pace. Try lifting on the 3 minute, for instance. Keep things going fast, be done with bench, close-grip and incline early then move on to a couple more chest/triceps lifts.
Finished with shoulder rehab exercises.
