Bench day

After several Sheiko cycles and Westside templates, 5/3/1 feels like a lot less work. Funny thing is, it's working -- the weights keep getting easier and the total keeps going up. I have to say, I'm loving this.

Usual bench warm-up (translate: not nearly enough) and w-u sets.

Bench:
190 kilos x 3 felt kinda heavy, actually -- start to worry
200 kilos x 3 super easy -- stop worrying
220 kilos x 3 easy, beezy, Japanezie, though my butt came up on the last rep

130 kilos x 5 x 10 felt good, though right shoulder started aching a little toward the end

fat (2") db rows, Kroc-stylee, 5 x 10 w/ 50 kilos too easy, need to go up
skull-crushers 70kg on an ez-bar, did a bunch without much heart in it

Called it a day with a lot left in the tank. I feel really good about today. Head doesn't hurt much, feel ok, lifted (and finished) strong. Good stuff.
