Idk what is going on with my bench! It had been skyrocketing for so long and out of nowhere, it seems like I just lost a decent bit of strength. So odd. Lost a few pounds, so I guess I will try to regain those prior to maxing next week.

Not too pleased with the bench. Going to have to decrease the weight by 10% for the next cycle. And I tried moving my arms further back when doing lateral raises today in hopes of hitting the lateral delt more. Not sure if I like this variation.
