RE BENCH:

Great day. Did 5 x 5 flat bench with 285 lbs. Felt a little difficult doing repetitions vs. hitting a max single. I can totally see this really giving my strength an extra boost in the long run!

Strict standing military press was difficult to follow bench with. Did 210 for 3 x 5.

Decline DB was the deciding factor for me taking a DELOAD next week. Grabbed the 115's and started busting them out when all of a sudden I felt a TINY pinch in my left pec. Nothing major at all, but I treated it seriously nonetheless. I dropped the DB's after about 5 easy reps and continued on with back and arms.

No need to re-tear my pec. No fucking way. Especially when I'm currently at my biggest/strongest I've ever been!! I left the gym wearing a wife beater for the first time (I always wear sleeveless shirts) and everyone remarked about how big I've gotten. I love telling them how much I eat since I'm all natty.

I sent the email to Matt about choosing a deload, so we'll see what he says.

Aside from the pec, I feel a little rundown, and my muscles are sorer longer than usual. And after a poor ME Squat performance, I'm in need of my first real deload after blasting for 17 weeks. I consider half of that going light and getting accustomed to the training, so that doesn't really IMO count. So about 10 weeks of hardcore training conjugate style before I needed my first deload.

I attribute it to NOT going to failure on any supplemental (aside from triceps/shoulder presses), and switching out ME's weekly.
