Jim vs. Bench Press, DB Bench Rows

Couldn’t get on an Olympic rack to do cleans, so I did this… which was also disappointing.

Bench press
145 x 5
165 x 3
185 x 2

DB bench rows
55 x 5 (each hand)
65 x 3 (each hand)
70 x 5 (each hand)

This was my first 5-3-1 day that involved 5-3-1+ reps, and I was definitely frustrated that I couldn’t even get a third rep at 185. But then, I’d been doing 185 first under the old system so… it is what it is. Deloading is next for these movements.

Finished with a run.
