Who cares, it's a PR.  Don't compare one lift to another, it's irrelevant.

Bench ME day

Closegrip bench
45lbs X 10reps
100lbs X 10reps
150lbs X 5reps
170lbs X 5reps
200lbs X 5reps
220lbs X 1 rep
250lbs X 1 rep
260lbs X 1rep (PR) Edit-not a PR as I've hit 260CGBP before.

DB Incline press
50lbs X 10 reps X 3 sets

barbell rows (couldn't get to gym so had to use barbell)
140lbs X 8reps X 3 sets

Side dumbell raises
25lbs X 8reps X 3 sets

hammer curls
25lbs X 20reps X 3 sets  (these ended up being cheat curls)

I felt good today.  I'm getting way behind on my "schedule" but I really think it's partially knowing when to rest. I felt strong as shit on the closegrips and probably had another 10+lbs in me.  I can't wait to check my bench max- I'd be surprised as hell if I don't get 300 at least.  I've also heard more "getting big and are you on steroid jokes" in the last few weeks then sinse I was in college.

Where you been dude?  You have to have gotten a workout or two in since the beginning of the month.
