A bit perplexed by the crappy benching numbers.  I'm over the sinus infection I had, maybe I'm still fatigued from it.  I also didn't warm up for as long, I went 45, 135, 225, 255, 260 for some reason. Usually I'd do 45,135,185,225,260 or something like that.  I dunno, just not a good benching session.  However the rest of the day went well.  The bruins were on last night so I didn't get to do my upper body workout, today would usually be legs, but I've missed quite a few upper sessions recently so I switched it around this week.  The pullups were fun, I wanted to time how long I could do 50 pullups in.  My strategy was to only do 4 per set at first to avoid a lactic acid hit. The thing is by the 5th set I could only do 3 anyway, which is probably where I would have been if I had done 25 or so over the first 3 sets anyway. Live & learn!   I was gassed afterward and could barely do the db flat benching.  Haven't done upper body plyos in a while, so I did some then finished off with some rope work.  Great workout!
