2nd workout back from sickness

[NickW]

Today was my 2nd chest workout back from being sick, I was hoping it would go better than it did, but I can't expect too much after being off that long (took 3 weeks off from training, but did a meet in the middle, lol)

Flat bench
135x10 - cg
225x10 - cg
315x10 - cg
405x10 - cg
515x10 - cg
550x5x2
575x3 (could have done more but my shoulder started hurting a little and I didn't want to push it)

my shoulders and tris were still sore from my workout on friday so I did a lot more warming up than normal, I also decided to do more reps than normal since I wasn't really trying to max out at all. I think for my next chest workout I will work up to 600lbs and see how many reps I can get with that, I am hoping for at least 4 if my shoulders aren't hurting. I will be doing less sets to help accomplish this.

*cg= close grip

Anyway, is this the 'official log' now? If so, I need to subscribe

Yeah, this will be my official log. I am a pussy, but next weeks weights will be higher. The close grip benching hurt my heavier sets, but I think they will definately help in the long run since my tris seem to be the only thing holding me back from doing big numbers.
