Cycle 5 Week 1 Bench

Still really sore from deads on Tuesday but feeling good. Trained at 1000am.

I deviated a little from the prescribed 5/3/1 lifts today as I wanted to work up to a paused 1RM with commands. I tried to replicate contest situation as much as possible (wraps, chalk, pause, commands, etc...)
So after a warmup;

315X1, 345X1, 370X1.(Paused PR).

My training partner gave me commands with a solid pause. It ws a grind and there was a little bar movement to one side but I dont think it stopped or went back down at any point. Maybe 1 red light.
Overall felt good to hit a paused PR leading up to a meet. My projected third lift will be somewhere in this ballpark depending on how things go that day.

Boring but big option;
BB Bench - 275X5X5.
Seated incline DB press - 75X12X3
Mid cable cross - 45X18, 55X12.

Feel healthy and strong, I havent felt any issues with my elbows for some time now. Some lower back pain but nothing unmanageable. Going to rest up and go for a 1RM in the squat tomorrow. Time to eat!
