Close Grip Bench Mar 28

This went pretty well, if not a bit too easy. The issue is that now that I've switched to close grip bench to save my shoulders and get more sport specific as I get closer to Brazil, there's a break-in period I haven't gotten out of yet. My endurance with sub-maximal weights is great but I have trouble going really heavy.

I originally calculated my max based off 225 x 10 and 265 x 5, both of which I've done. That projected about 305 which I knew would be high so I backed off a bit but was still able to hit 280 for one but not two reps. I've now set my training max at 275 to be safe, which seems to work out for the heavier days but my 9 in the 9/7/5 day was only 190 which is pretty light. I just cut my rest breaks down but maybe on endurance days i'll have to do max reps on the last set of the day to top off.
