Bench + Push

So I started a new program, this is day one.  While I can do squats and deadlifts, I can't go as heavy as usual, so I am putting a focus on my very frustrating lift, the bench press.  This is a self designed high bench frequency program, a 5 day split with bench appearing on 3 of them.  Always fun starting a new program.

Bench Press
warmup
135x5
135x3
185x3
205x3
work sets
230x3, 3, 2, 2, 2

Spoto Press - 3x3.......205

Superset (without re-racking the bar)
Military Press - 95x8, 8, 6
Push Press - 95x5, 4, 4

Incline Neutral DB Bench Press - 3x6......55s

Cable Flies - 3x15......27.5

Today, bench and all upper pushing exercises.  The 5x3 bench was identical to last time, very heavy on each set.  The superset burned like crazy, could barely get those lockouts on the push press by the end.  Good workout.
