I feel pretty good from yesterday but I am aware I squatted heavier than I have in some time. I've decided to prioritize my dumbbell bench for the next few weeks to help build ups the stabilizing muscle needed during the bench movement.

 

dumbbell bench - slight incline

worked up to 70's for 5 sets of 10 reps

 

barbell bench - against light bands

135 for 3 reps

185 for 3 resp

225 for 3 sets of 3 reps

 

standing military press with angle bar

95 for 8 reps

145 for 3 sets of 8 reps

 

chin-ups

4 sets of 5 reps

 

reverse pec deck

70 for 20 reps

90 for 20 reps

110 for 20 reps

 

My triceps and stabilizers are starting to fire better. I feel a few more weeks and I should be able to bench the 365 I missed last week.
