Max Effort Upper- Week of Jan 1

Bench press- working on keeping my lats tight, especially on and just off of my chest.

bar x 5 135x5 185x3 225x2 275x2 315x2 355x2 385x1 410x1

I've been working on staying so much tighter, especially my lats, that I've had to cut the warmup reps down because setting up as tight as possible ever rep really wears me out.

Accessory work: Close grip bench 3x10 at 275 wide grip pullup 3x10 t bar rows 3x10 heavy

Secondary Upper Body day: week of Jan 1

I felt the slightest strain in my pec- not sure if it was an actual strain, or just discomfort from a heavyish single, but I decided to hit a bunch of shoulders and back.

DB Shoulder Press 10x75 10x85 10x95 10x105

20 banded facepulls in between every set

Seated Cable Rows 4x15 superset cable facepulls 4x15

Tricep pushdowns - 100 total as a drop set

quick, but very good workout
