147.5x3 - feeling really tough.
147.5x2f - knew the 3rd wasn't going, so fatigued. Failed rep wiped me out.
Bench Press
120x8
120x7
120x5 - dat tiredness kicking my butt.
Skipped pin press as I was already struggling to muster the power.

Wasn't myself by the end, completely switched off, even left my workout log book. Despite that, I'm pleased with the PB. I'm going to see how 150x3x3 goes next week, but before then I'm going to need to tackle this tightness in my chest and shoulders.
Next training day will be back at the Oxford bro down.

LiE's human!
Joking aside, epic lifting yet again. Really interested to see how far you can go because you appear to be making gains every week.
I don't think there's much left in 3x3 for paused bench press, but we shall see how next week goes.

What was your comp paused again?
155.
Caporegime
Hnnng, not far off then!
It's quite a bit when you get to the top end 
However I can safely say 155 is much easier now, just need to make sure my 160 is easier too.

Yeah figured Still mate, cracking effort, roll on your next comp

Strength and technique have come on well, but tightness is getting bad so I need to tackle that before it snaps me in half.

Or you'll end up like a delvis.
No one, wants to be a delvis.

That's a lot of pressing, no wonder you were burning out. Fair shout to keep going and do even more chest work!!
That's a less than normal amount of pressing!

150x3 - PB - been working towards this and really pleased I got it. Pauses could have been a tad longer. 3rd rep I lost tightness but locked it out.
150x3 - I was seriously thinking about only doing 1 set but that would be weak. This set was actually better.
150x2 - no chance of a 3rd, still good.
Bench
130x3 - decided to go heavier for the normal bench for a change
140x3 - mmm tasty
145x3 - pretty good!
