The weights just felt heavy plain and simple for the bench press. I knew by the time my warm up was done that a PR today for my bench press was not in the books. No BIG deal get it done the best I can and move on. See what happens after the deload week and go from there.
For my incline DB presses I used a red band for all my sets. The red band probably adds 5 to 25 lbs of resistance but if your not used to this training expect DOMS the next day. And NOT something you do all the time. I supersetted the DB presses with narrow grip pullups either with bodyweight and a set amount reps or 1 explosive rep rest 5 secs repeat for 5 total reps.
Finished up with dips but a special way that cooks your chest and triceps. From Josh Bryant called the Val Dez 10 I believe. I place my log book somewhere about 15 feet from the dip station. Crank out 10 reps walk to the book mark it, walk back do 1 rep walk back mark it walk back do 9 reps repeat until you complete all 10 sets or take a knee. The only rest is walking back and forth.
Chin up push forward gym rats and crush it.

Every lift is a PR and here's why... To be a true comparison of lifts all factors must be equal not just the weight. Age is a factor too, that's why there are different categories in competitions. SO...every day we are one day older making each day a slightly different environment than the last workout. Weights may go down but, age goes up. Bottom line, you lift and live large <3
