FF, probably should've done 140kg, but want to ease myself back in
Paul, struggled more with getting them in position than repping them - heavy chest is really a session where you need someone to give you a push up for the first rep.
I know those feels mate, I have never gone over 30kg on incline for this reason, feels like aids getting into position on your own.

Have never struggled getting in to position. See vid in log of 50's

Not going to watch out of envy....
Benny, I figured after 6 sets of decent weight DB pressing, 60kg wasn't that shameful probably could've done 65kg, but definitely fatigued by that point.
Also it's not that it's "difficult" getting in to position; I've no doubt I could with 50s too. But the effort it takes to get them there and that first rep from maximum flexion takes away a rep or two from the set I find, once you're in to your second and third set at least.

A week off, very tiring weekend and a terrible diet recently, but still a decent "back to it" workout:

Not a great session, no real strength, no real stamina. A week off always ruins a chest workout for me, and having lat DOMS didn't help me maintain my stable back, which we all know is the key to a strong chest.

A back-to-it session after quite a nasty pulled trap. Still haven't got my stability back, and strength isn't great from having time off, but a very enjoyable session. Some rests were very short, some were normal.
