Not sure if I changed the width of my stance, I really need some que to get that consistent. I did a big deadlift session on Friday which could account for something, I normally do deadlifts on Thursday.

Yea it could be anything so I'm not focusing on it. Deload next week (I'm on holiday all week so no training at all) then see what cycle 2 brings.
I enjoyed the sprints, just need to keep it up.

Here's what my last 162.5 looked like. I think my current one the depth looks better. In the older one my stance looks narrower?
Looking forward to my week 3 bench press + set of 137.5 tonight.
Week 3 is handing me my ass.
I'm not bothered about the numbers this week. The lack of deload before starting this cycle I think has had an impact, my body feels tired. It probably wasn't the best time to start doing sprints but I like the chanllenge, so I'll keep doing them even and perhaps adjust my weights next cycle.
All in all I'm looking forward to getting this week done, taking my week off (on holiday) and coming back fresh.
531 Bench Press
WU - 57.5x5, 72.5x5, 87.5x3

ITIS (Incline Treamill Interval Sprints)
15sec 15mph sprints x 4
Almost had the 5th rep on the + set, caught the catchers on one of the reps too!
Increased the speed today to see how the sprints felt and they were good, but god damn my conditioning is bad. All good, that's why I'm doing it.

I presume you are sprinting after the workout? 
Yea.

It certainly won't be helping, the extra strain on an already taxing few weeks
Agreed ice... although Saturday may break me!

It'll be a good finisher 
Doing the cardio that I do is taxing enough. I find it actually helps recovery though

Going from 100 to 110, then back down to 100 was a clever move I thought. There's no way I'd hit another 10 on 110 on the last set. I'd normally be stubborn and stick with 110 or even go to 120 and not hit 10. I shall name it hump sets
