Nailed 280 on flat benching, feels good to get back to that.  I'll probably stay there next week.  Shoulder is 100%, elbow is 100%, everything feels good.

Lower back is still feeling tight, taking it easy on the deadlifts.  Likely on account of this I crushed 255 on incline benching.

Good session...tried rollouts, haven't done them recently.  Reeeally sore lower abdomen afterward, need to get used to them.

My lower right back has been sore lately, thought the hex deadlifting would help...I think it was more stressful on it honestly.  Oops.  Still at 300 on front squatting. Sprinting will be picking up soon, probably going to dial back the weight slightly at that point.

Good session, I think adding in guillotine pressing should help advance flat benching; I noticed that during the autumn pre-bulk when my bench skyrocketed I had been doing more guillotines...hopefully it happens again.

 Lower back was tight/tired after lower body workout on Wednesday.  I didn't push things here, did a bit of a deload. Incline benching went better this week. No inexplicable miss on 250.

Good session here, I notice my back is really tired after back squatting...may do hex bar deadlifts next week in their lieu since it's biomechanically the same but easier on the back.

Another good session, I'll move all the benching weights up 5 lbs this coming week.  Guillotine press felt fine too. I did zero 'rehabby' things between sets here. I didn't even think about the shoulder and didn't feel it the whole workout. I do a ton of warmup sets now, like the bar, 95, 135, 165, 185 for a bunch of reps. I'm thoroughly warmed up by the time I get to real sets.
