Training 9/23 & progress pic

Well, this session didn't start out any better than Saturday's. I was able to get 1 extra rep on the first set (cheating my ass off with my butt WAY off the bench to grind it out), but still only matched total reps from the last time. Which means I have to find a new exercise to slot into that spot next time around. Although, by then I will have moved into my heavier training, so maybe I should keep it? Not quite sure, I'll ponder it in the meantime.
Lateral raises and flyes went very well. However, I still felt like I had no "go," and my warmup sets for squats were doing nothing to instill confidence. Everything felt heavy, and my over warmup at 295 felt like shit. But, I managed to grind it out somehow and I must say, it felt good to do so. I felt (and still feel, to some extent) like shit afterward, but it was good to complete it. This was the first time doing them, however, where I felt like my legs were the limiting factor. Generally, my low back/upper back/shoulders want to give out first. In this instance, while they were definitely shot, my legs didn't seem like they were going to hold up. But hold up they did, and I'll try my damndest to rest up for 265 come Saturday.

Close grip - 185 - 14+2+3 (equaled last time - have to change exercise)
Lateral raises - 15s - 17+8+6 (31 total - bump up weight)
DB flyes - 50s - 16+5+5
Breathing squats - 255 - 1x20
Face Pulls - 1x75

Weight - 191 yesterday (don't judge my dirty mirror)
