My usual Monday catch-up

Friday was great having Rhaea around to train with. She caught a lot of attention from other gym-goers (particularly other groups of powerlifters) because of how much she can deadlift... and to think, it's her weakest lift... LOL

speed bench 9x3 @ 75 plus bands
bench 5x2 @ 95,105,115,120,125 - only got 1 again... my shoulder was upset with me. Rhaea said I was bordering on touching too low, so I touched higher at 120 and 125 but my shoulder was unhappy with that. It's partly just in my head that I can't press this... I could have... no reason why not... but, when my shoulder yelps I get scared.
A1 DB bench 3x8 @ 25s, 30s, 30s
A2 pull ups 4 sets with assistance
B1 two point rows 3x10 @ 20s, 25s, 30s
B2 1 arm pec stretches 2x30 sec each side
Plus some other stretching

Saturday squats were decent... can't complain... I do like heavy weight, low reps

135x5
155x3
185x2
205x1 belt
225x1 belt and light wraps

A2 wall march 3x6 per side
A3 barbell kneeling hip thrust 3x10 @ 95,95,95

Massage after the gym, focusing on my shoulders - especially the right one.

Sunday bench was good, despite my shoulder feeling tender from the massage. I wasn't going to push it, but in the shirt my shoulder felt good.
