Fitness Log 2013-10-18: Bench, etc.

Bench (Intensity)

• 45 lbs x 5, 135 x 5, 150 x 5, 170 x 3, 190 x 2, 210 x 1
• 230 x 5 (5RM PR)

For reasons I can’t comprehend, I decided rather than going for 227.5 lbs, I’d shoot for 230 instead.  It’s only an extra 2.5 lbs but that can make a big difference on a 5RM particularly given how slow last week’s 225 went up.  In any case, the 5th rep this week also went up incredibly slow but it went up.
