Sticking with the decline bench in spite of my one flat bench session last week. While I don't have pain in my shoulder from that session of benching, there was a bit of lingering soreness that let me know I still need to hold off for a while longer to be fully healed.
With that said, I pushed it heavier on my decline bench last night. Started out with 8x135 as a warmup. Then jumped to 8x225, 8x245, and 8x255. To finish my chest segment I did some standing cable push downs (imagine decline bench while standing. Cables starting at shoulder level pressing to waist level at a 45 degree angle). I moved up 20ish lbs on these cable presses as well. I could go heavier, but getting the cables away from the machine to start the movement is nearly impossible at my finishing weight, so I don't have an easy solution at this point.
Finished the workout with machine bicep & triceps work. Had planned on doing shoulders as well, but got distracted with a very impressive thunderstorm out the gym windows. I cooled down while watching it, so decided to call it a night. I did fit 20 minutes of recumbent bike in after the arms segment.
