45 minutes

I think I need to drop weights and do sets of 10 for a few weeks.  I'm plateauing with benching, squatting, etc.  Rows are going up still, so that's good.  I can't be afraid to switch things up.  85% of the time a high weight explosive routine is great for me, but I've been going 36 months now with this high weight stuff.  My body needs a few weeks of switch-up, plus I'm bulking, I could use the extra metabolic work.   O-Lifts & Push Pressing and the like I'll keep low rep high weight, but I think deadlifting, benching, and squatting I'm going to lower the weight and jack the reps way up.  

Rest of the session here wasn't too bad.  I realized I wasn't dipping down on push presses, like at all. Which is why I was having trouble moving the weight.  I dipped my knees forward about 4-6" on the reps today.  Felt great!   Incline bench is continuing to climb, as is the neutral grip pullups.
