-Notes-
Today's press almost matches the 145 x 5 x 2 I did on 10/25/2017 when I was ten pounds heavier! I weighed 181 when I got home today. I am having a hard time wrapping my head around that. I can't believe the presses are behaving so well as I lose weight.
Close Grips were good too with 20 lbs for the same reps over last week. I want to hit 225 for five next week. That should be putting my competition grip bench (which I will rarely do) at a pretty good spot, like 225 x 8 or so. I bailed on dips today because my right shoulder just seemed to have had enough after the close grips.
The isolation work today was for aesthetics and balance. I want to get some volume directed to the upper chest and to the medial delts. My shoulder/chest circumference is already on the high side at over 52", but I wouldn't mind getting just a tiny bit wider.
