Workout was,

4x4 squats @ 420lbs
4x5 bench @ 225lbs
4x4 floor presses @ 275lbs
3x12 seated rows
3x12-15 lateral raises and upright rows
3x10 landmine curls

Must've been a little sore from that yolo deadlift. Took forever to get loose and the reps were a little heavier than they should've been. But all in all the moved pretty good. Probably redoing my training maxes next week to reflect the strength increases. My training maxes will be 525 sleeve squat (+10% for wraps), 325 bench, and 635 deadlift.

Squats were ridiculously easy. Lol. Which is good because I planned on increasing my weights again in a few weeks. Then even my 8s will be at least 4 plates. Lol. Yay.....

Squats were a little sloppy on the first set, but everything moved without an issue
 
Starting to get unnecessarily fluffy.. lol. Didn't think it would be so easy to put the weight back on. Ha. I'm guessing my full weight is probably around 203ish. Probably going to go back to having a meal prep company take care of my food for me. Between smoking a half O of weed a week and being a former fatass, apparently I can't trust myself to take care of my food for myself. Lol
 
Workout today was,

2x6 squats @ 380lbs
2x3 deadlifts @ 495lbs
3x8 standing ohp
3x15 Pullups
3x10 T-bar row
3x12 Shrugs
4x15 SS cable curls and rope pushdowns

Instead of increasing my bench, I think I'm going to start incorporating ohp back into my routine. I'm going to shoot for 2 bench, and 2 ohp days. Bench I'm mainly going to stick to form and move weight/volume on floor presses. Ohp I'll probably train more in a hypertrophy style.

What’s your sticking point? What do you believe holds you back on bench?

I fucked up my shoulder like 5 months back. I hit a 2x bodyweight gym lift last year though. Lol. So I feel my bench is "decent", but my shoulder just isn't quite 100% yet. So I figured I would at least stop myself from regressing any further on it, while trying to still build my shoulders, chest, and triceps so when I'm ready to hit it hard, hopefully with the added muscle I'll be able to get even stronger than I was before. That's what I'm hoping for at least. Lol.

So the Ohp stuff doesn’t tear up your shoulders?

Strange enough, no. Lol. I noticed driving it off my chest was slightly uncomfortable, but I'll probably just go back to seated so I can start the lift a couple inches off my chest instead.
