Was waiting on something to open up because the gym was slammed today. The crossfitters that mean mug me, the ugly fat housewives that are getting robbed by the skinny fat trainer, the 140lbs kids that wear beaters and strut around, the old fv(k that haven't any direction, and the douche with the bosuball that hates me because I told him NOT to do his stupid $h1t in the middle of the isle we all have to walk down when there is a plethora of open space to go do his thing.

So I tried:

Stepups
barx5
95x5
135x5

These are awful. Impossible to load, dangerous when you are taller than 5'6", so much less leg activation than leg press or anything really.

Pushdowns, cable
half the block x 12
full block x 10
+25 x 8
full block x8
half block x13ish

Flat bench
140x5
170x5
195x8

So I've decided to use the 5/3/1 percentages for a few lifts. Flat bench is one of them. I picked a super low max because A) I'm a pussy on bench B) I don't want to deload C) I may end up hitting this more than once every 7 days D) I don't want to stall.

Had I not hit the rack on my first rep I would have had 10+

I was done, and sweating like a pig

[nygmen]

I have so many things wrong with me today it isn't even funny.
My left shoulder is irritated
right elbow pain
right shin splints irritated
Massive sinus headache
and worst of all: one of those swollen taste buds that you can't help but rub against your top teeth until it swells even more, and then you just bite it off, which makes the irritation 100x worse...

So I just went in, and did a quicky session. Must be the rain around here or something.
