Was rushing the 295 set and felt a sharp pain in my knee, racked it immediately. Feels fine now but I didn’t want to push it so I did good mornings for some volume

Bench (paused)
305x9+1 assisted
Spotter kinda robbed me on the last one, fairly confident I could’ve gotten it but he had his hands on the bar after the 9th even though I specifically asked him not to touch it unless I said something. Still, I’m happy with how these felt especially given I have a head injury lol

+Dip machine, row machine, face pulls
Gonna deload for a bit on bench and then either focus on sets of 8 or run a modified Smolov Jr. and see what I can hit for a single, still considering
My wife spots me on bench and she’s probably a little too good. She’ll let me struggle and right before I die or pass out, I somehow muster enough breath to gurgle “help”, and shell grab it. Of course not before she yells “leg drive!” A couple times
Sounds way more beneficial than my spotter was lmao, I had the 10th paused on my chest and was trying to tell him to let go but he wouldn’t. Always next time I guess
+5x20s on a dip machine, chest supported rows, cable tricep extensions, cable curls, face pulls, behind the neck press, shrugs and straight bar reverse curls
