Knowing I’m going to bench press gets me out of bed Monday mornings. Had I not been motivated by the bench I might still be in bed.

Did not feel good today. Starting with the flat bench, 165 is more than I’ve been doing on my light chest days but this felt not good. I could not find a rhythm. Nothing felt great after that. Concentrate on getting the lats involved.
This workout made me feel that I should change something. I still want to do these lifts on Monday but probably should mix up the pace. Try lifting on the 3 minute, for instance. Keep things going fast, be done with bench, close-grip and incline early then move on to a couple more chest/triceps lifts.
Finished with shoulder rehab exercises.
