I'll jump in here seeing as I'm still struggling to break through on my bench which is basically one of the only lifts I track until I get my knee surgery and can squat/dead again. Tell me where to go heavier. I want to break that 300 lb mark by the end of summer. Currently at 275 PR, haven't actually tried heavier.

5'7" 160

Today's session:

BB Bench Press
135 x 12 x 1
225 x 6 x 2
205 x 8 x 1
135 x 12 x 1

Incline DB Press
60 x 10 x 1
80 x 8 x 2

Decline Cable Fly
25 x amrap x 3

Seated Dips (Machine)
180 x 10 x 3

Could work on form. A great mental cue is to bring your sternum to the bar and to row the bar to you.

Other than that, dips and close grip bench.

Knocked out another chest session yesterday. Felt better but didn't bump anything up. Think I probably could have banged out 8 reps on my first working set but didn't have a spotter so took it easy. Will prob up my 225 bench to 235 next time and see what happens.

BB Bench Press
135 x 12 x 1
225 x 6 x 2
185 x 10 x 1
135 x 14 x 1

Seated Incline Chest Press
90 x 10 x 2
90 x 8 x 1

Decline Cable Fly
25 x amrap x 3

Weighted Dips (45 lb plate)
10 x 2
7 x 1 (burned out that last set )

Usually weighted dips hurt my shoulder but I had absolutely no pain yesterday, which was nice. Really felt it in the pecs.
