Todays workout:
Bench (paused, competition style): 192.5 x 5s x 5r
Kroc Rows: 65 x 5s x 13r
Today's workout was fantastic.
I don't regret returning to paused bench reps. I still feel solidly that a 300lb bench (hopefully a 315lb bench, 6 plates) is doable by years end.
Tomorrow I'm looking forward to a 2 or 3 mile run, haven't gone out in awhile.

ANOTHER KILLER OHP WORKOUT!
Was rushed for time today so I only hit my main lift and some RKC KB swings.
OHP: 142.5 x 10s x 5r (CRAZY PR!!!!)
53lb KB Swing: 5s x 20r
Never had any doubt about any of the kettlebell sets. I'm definitely having fun blowing old records out of the water.

Had a KILLER OHP workout today.
Workout was:
OHP: 140 x 10s x 5r (hit it! 10s x 5r PR!!!)
Kroc Rows: 65 x 5s x 12r (hit it! Kroc Row PR!!)
53lb KB x 75 swing for time and biggest set: (51 swings before pausing! Swing PR!)
Also met a guy named Tata who showed me how to do a proper Russian swing. I'm amazed at what I've been missing out on. The RKC style swing used my "core" (I still hate that word) much more than my prior swing had.
THIS WAS ONE OF THE BEST WORKOUTS OF MY LIFE!!

Back to 5x5's on OHP
Today's workout:
OHP: 137.5 x 10s x 5r (NEW PR! (for most sets of 5 at that weight))
Kroc Rows: 65 x 5s x 11r (NEW PR!)
53lb KB x 75 swings for time and biggest set:
biggest set: 50 reps (NEW PR!)
time:2:55 (NEW PR!)
When every exercise is a PR it's very hard to complain!
I was very happy with the OHP 137.5 x 10s x 5r. There's been a huge carryover from 531 back to 5x5.
Planning on keeping up with my pushups. Looking forward to a WORLD RECORD BENCH SESSION IN A FEW DAYS! ("World Record" will be 210x5x5.)

Good OHP Day
Had a good OHP day.
Scored a new PR at 140, then broke away from the script when I realized I wouldn't complete my BBB.
Workout ended up looking like:
OHP:
140 x 1 x 7
120 x 2 10
135 x5 x 5
The 135 x 5 x 5 were, by far, the easiest sets of 5 I ever did at 135.
I've failed multiple times at the 10 rep range on OHP so I think for the near term I'm going to switch back to 5x5, after a PR effort at a given weight. I'll increase the 5x5 effort by 2.5lbs each workout.
