Ironically, I’m phasing that out on this next phase in favor of alternating flies with close grip DB press to failure. We’ll see how it goes though.

I feel I'm plateaued at this point, so yeah I need to reboot things a bit. I'm going to look into it for Aug after my vactation. I'm still slowly creeping up in weight, and the fats declining for sure, so I'm not completely stuck, but it does feel like I'm not moving as much as I want.

Switching a few movements in and out for the next four weeks or so. This was my first “heavy” (for me) bench set in a long while. I’m a bit disappointed, but nothing hurt while I did it, so silver linings and all that. The shoulder press machine listed “15 pounds unloaded” for each arm, but I’m skeptical. Still, it’s a good baseline to proceed from, so I’m looking forward to this phase of training.

Thanks, man! It’s hard to say with machines, right? This is a plate loaded deal that’s new at this gym. I REALLY like the ergonomics on it. At my other gym, where I was using a more traditional stack-loaded cable pulldown, I would probably be doing closer to 170 at this rep range.
