SlingShot bench press (Reactive) 335 lbs. x 2, 350 lbs. x 4, 335 lbs. x 3
Way too heavy on the last two sets. Should have used 345 and 325 and gotten two back-off sets of 4. Also left shoulder felt a bit icky.

Grinding
9 November 2015
Floor press 255x4, 275x4, 285x4, 255 x 2s x 4
Did these with a barbell instead of the Smith machine. Took me a while to get used to the groove, but once I got the hang of it upping the weight was easy. Mad props to Coach for floor pressing 315+ back in the day, this shit is considerably harder than a regular BP.
Leg curls 3s x 8
12 November 2015
SlingShot bench press 300 lbs. x 8, then 280 lbs. x 8 (again with Reactive SS - I will hold off on using the Original until the last 3 weeks of the program).
Pulldowns 30 total reps - alternated between supinated grip and regular wide pronated grip
Standing BTN press 135 lbs. 3s x 6
DB curl 30 total reps
DB kickbacks 3s x AMAP
Not 100% sure, but this might be the first kickback I've done in this millennium.

Groundhog (Bench) Day
8 November 2015
So my assignment got extended and I didn't make it home until Saturday. Went to the gym and just basically repeated last pre-trip workout to restart the cycle. Also I somehow dropped 5 pounds during my trip and now weigh around 203. Seeing as I no longer lift heavy and don't need the extra bodyweight, that's a good thing?
Bench press up to 310 lbs. x 3, then 280 lbs. 2s x 3
Paused bench press 250 lbs. 2s x 5
Seated cable row 30 total reps - forgot I was supposed to do these on a separate day
Standing BTN press 140 lbs. 3s x 5 - also forgot I was only supposed to do 2 sets of these.
EZ bar curls 30 total reps
Pushdowns 3 sets x AMAP
Last November I weighed in excess of 220 pounds and was capable of lifting some decent weights. A year later I've lost over 15 pounds BW (granted, most of it on purpose) and all my lifts are way down. Training-wise, 2015 has been a complete writeoff.
