Cycle 4 Week 3 Monday Bench assist

So, as mentioned I changed my Monday routine to take out the OHP as a main lift for the 5/3/1 program. I will still do OHP with either DB/BB but not as a programmed lift. I wanted more bench press assistance work, so this is what I came up with,

Close Grip Bench Press - (all paused) - 275X7, 245X5, 245X4, 245X5.
Pin Press (about 3" off chest on the safeties) - 275X3, 275X3, 275X4
EZ bar Skullcrushers - 105X10X2
Tricep Pressdowns - 140X20X2

That pretty much destroyed my triceps. I tried to do;
Seated DB press - 60X8. Thats all I could do, it became evident that any pressing movements after the tricep work was not going to go lol.

DB Front raise - 25X10X2
DB Lateral raise - 25X10X2

That was a great workout,  I feel that the CG and tricep work is going to carry over to my bench more than the OHP. I will have to fit it in on squat day instead. Hopefully my elbows and everything else can handle the extra bench work. Well see how recovery goes before Thursday. Deadlifts tomorrow.
