Bench press
235 x 5
270 x 3
300 x 3

Close-grip bench press: 235 x 3 x 10
Super-set with lying dumbbell rows: 115s x 3 x 10

Keg curls: 160 x 25

Was running on fumes here. Sleep quality was poor due to the aforementioned gut issues and as soon as I got home from work I was dealing with a badly clogged bathroom sink that required some elbow grease (P-trap nuts were stuck). Work-up sets felt heavy but 300 felt pretty light. All 3 were strong, smooth reps. Crazy to think I haven't benched 300+ in almost a year; that's been unprecedented for me ever since I reached that weight 20 years ago. 

Ended up going to bed late because the sink required further attention due to a leaking angle-stop valve, and I'm even more tired today. And then work so far has happened to be the most hectic day of the week. Even had to cut my lunch break short by 20 minutes to help someone out. Fuck it, can't wait to go to boxing after!
