    Weights: Upper Power

    Bench Press 5x5
    Cable Row 5x5
    Machine Decline Press 5x5
    Machine High Row 5x5
    Seated BB OHP 5x5
    Cable Woodchoppers 3x10 (High, Cross, Low)

    Analysis: Really felt in the zone today, increased the weight on three of my lifts and managed to get the full 5 reps on all five sets of bench, even 6 reps (with spotter watching) on the final set. Not gonna increase that weight until I can do it two weeks in a row, but felt like it was a most excellent workout!

    Food: Last night was supposed to be homemade chicken pot pie, except my son and his wife both had to work, meaning it would've been just my wife and I eating it with my daughters scrounging up something they could agree with, so I took pity and ended up buying a round of Burger King.
