As Roland put it so nicely... I was sweating the details a little too much. Wasn't saying that decline wasn't fine, just wanted to make sure it was okay with two other days of different types of benching.
Hi Matt, I'll stop taking over your journal now.

That's a nice lookin' workout. How's that diet coming along? Is Alabama still sidetracking you? I'm in Florida today and keep seeing the Waffle House sign. Tempted.
The thing about Waffle House is that the name of the place sounds so good...then you eat there and it's not. But you see the sign and you think, mmmmm waffles.
Left shoulder's been wanting to twinge during the full ROM bench work, so I may have to cut that out. Again. And this isn't even the shoulder that was hurt before
Otherwise, everything's going well. I'm going to try and keep the volume/intensity up through this week and whatever I can manage Mon/Tues next week. Travel starts a week from tomorrow and there's no telling when I'll get back to a gym.

But they're equivalent to greasy Eggo waffles--UGH. And they only have non dairy creamer--double UGH! AND they have no egg substitute.
However, the people that hang out there make it almost worth it.
Oh and I'm up to 212, which is about where i was when I started dieting
Yes but at a drastically reduced bodyfat! Repartitioning FTW!!!!

Ya, was out of touch for awhile. The DSL modem went out here and we didn't get a new one in til today. We had dial-up access, but screw that. I've been reading books and stuff.
At any rate, yeah. More or less settled in for the time being.
The gym here is badass, also. When I was here last, it was already good. It has a nice OLing area with about 5 platforms and a good assortment of bars and bumpers. They'd started adding equipment around the time I left, but damn if they didn't go all out -- there's now a damn nice EFS rack, SSBar, several sets of chains, a full set of kettlebells....the list goes on.
I also had some ART done on my busted-ass shoulders while we were in Sydney, so those are feeling quite a bit better now. Bench is also doing better as well, so that's been nice.

I see you're in Melbourne. We're going down there early Friday until Monday night, Di has a conference to go to.
Did some upper-body stuff, but not as much as I'd expected due to carb depletion.
Incline Bench, 2 sets at 80kg
HS shoulder press, 2x10
Pulldowns, 2 sets
Cable row, 2 sets
side raises, 1 set
db curls, 1 set
Weight's dropping a bit, I was down to 93.5kg (~206lbs) today from 95 when I got here. Still look like a fat tub, but that's par for the course by now.
