40 Minutes of Stretching

Comments: Pretty good today besides some hiccups haha. Benching was mostly good (had a crappy second set). Dips went well but the last set was quite tough. Incline was just a disaster. I was all over the place on the first set. I blame it on taking a bit of a layoff from them. On the last set, I barely got the seventh rep but I wanted one more. I stalled and the dumbbells banged into each other. If I tried to separate them, I might hurt my shoulders so I tried to press them as is. Not happening and I had to bail by tossing them behind my head. I banged my left wrist in the process on the back of the bench. I was ok but a bit embarrassed. I brought the dumbbells back, and recleaned them to get my last rep, which was easy. Go figure haha. I did something different with rear delts by making them increasing sets like the other exercises. That seems to work better for me mentally. Doing the same weight for multiple sets only seems to be fine if it's speed or form work, not volume. Fairly large jumps but it's all part of the plan. Finished up with stretching at home. Icing my wrist and hopefully it will be fine tomorrow.
