Light Upper
Speed Bench: 3x2@145
Speed Bench with Bands (the red ones...supposedly 70-90lbs): many at various weights
Close-Grip Bench: 8, 6, 6 @ 215
Pullup: 4x8@50
Military Press: 8, 8, 5 @ 140
EZ Bar Preacher Curl: 2x8@75

I borrowed bands from a buddy who was at the gym today and tried some speed benches with bands. I think it could be pretty useful, but we don't reliably show up at the same time often enough (he's a postdoc, I work full time) for me to use them regularly. Still, a very interesting tool.

866>884? Who knows. The rest of the upper body work didn't feel too bad. I finally hit full reps on pullups, but I think I'll stay at this weight while working on some of my other lifts. Besides, it's not really my focus for the forseeable future.
