Today I was hoping to get a new PR on Bench press.  Last week I didn't lift at all to give the tricep tendon some rest.  I was hoping the rest would also allow me to get a new PR today.  Apparently I took too much rest.
Shirted Bench Press: 1 x 225, 1 x 315, 1 x 365, 0 x 385 
Bench Press 5's: 5 x 5 x 275
15's (Lower end 5, top end 5, full: 3 x 15 x 185
5 second Pause Bench with speed press: 5 x 5 x 135
I was very surprised how heavy the 315 and 365 was.  I didn't have a spotter, but had a  rack setup as a back up in case I couldn't get something up.  I was surprised it was the 385 that was the failing point.  Ouch.  Need to get serious again.
