2013-07-13 ME Bench

Forgot to warm my shoulders up. This made a huge difference and I need to not do it again.

Bench -
45x5x3
95x5x2
135x5
155x5
175x3
185x1
195x1
205x1
215x1
220x1
225x0, 0
Switched to happy music after 205. It made a nice difference.
Not as much as I'd hoped, but considering I've dropped 10lbs of bodyweight in the last half of the cycle I'd say I'm doing fairly well.
Used Oly shoes here. I think it helped, though I'll need to change my form.
The big thing I noticed here is that I'm back to being weak off the chest.

CG Bench -
150x6, 6, 6, 4, 4
Working on keeping my elbows in.

Pulldowns -
120x 10, 7, 5, 5, 5+neg+1
Works for me. Starting to lose the shoulder blade position later on, though.

Rear Delt Flyes -
12.5x15x5
With rest-pausing. Had a bonus rep or two on the last set.

Alt. DB Curl -
25x10, 5+3, 4+1+2+1+1+1+neg
That last one took about four minutes.

Thoughts:
I want to include more rowing regardless
I'm weak off the chest, so the issue's basically chest and delts now. Triceps need some attention but not emphasis.
I'm thinking replace CG Bench with Blast-Strap Push-Ups, remove the high-volume pressing movement from SE Upper, and add some more back work in there.
