Well I've yet to take a large dose pre-workout, I will tonight (14g). I'm not sure how I can measure it, but I guess if my strength goes down then it's not done much :D

14g before bed for some recovery and sleep aid.

Hoping to nail 130x5 on paused bench tonight, I'm going to restructure the sets so that I can hit this weight. Previously my heaviest set would be the 3rd set, which doesn't lend itself to max gains. So if anything I'll be doing heaviest first then drop sets depending how the first goes.
 
Right, decision time with my paused bench.

Here's how the past 3 weeks look for the top sets.
Week 1: 120x5, 125x5, 127.5x5
Week 2: 125x5, 127.5x5, 127.5x4
Week 3: 125x5, 127.5x5, 127.5x5

Good progress.

My plan for tonight is either start 3s or move up on 5s.
Week 4: 130x5, 125x5, 125x5
or
Week 4: 135x3, 135x3, 135x3
 
Might as well do 5s. You don't have any plans on doing max singles at the moment, as far as I'm aware, so you can keep the volume up to get a little more hypertrophy stimulus.
 
Yea no plan to do singles for a while, just need to build that progressive strength gains.
 
Four weeks is a good amount of time to be on a specific type of training so you could go onto a lower rep range next week. It will probably actually make no difference whether you do 5 or 3 tonight but you might as well extend the gains period ;).
 
Just looked back at my log and I've done 130x5x2 in Dec, now I need to lift more xD

115x8 - tough set.
110x9 - :D

Pin Press
100x8 - feels good, working on dat sticking point
110x6f - ah, there's that weakness. Video.
110x5f - goodnight sweet triceps.

CGBP
80x8 - oh man, no more press left.
80x7f - the end.

The tightness from all the pressing was pretty insane by the end, had to stretch to un-douche myself.

135x5 paused bench:

Fast 100x8. Just to see how quick I can knock these out.

Pin press for those interested.

Grunting really helps channel that power. Just comes out when things get heavy and tough.
 
Cheers Dom, I was quite surprised with what occurred yesterday.

Going to smash some shoulders tonight, haven't done much on them recently and they need some swole.
