Here is my mid-week update.
I was able to hit all my reps on flat bench but last few sets I was about 3" from the top of my chest on those, getting a huge stretch.
I feel like I have plateaued on incline bench for now and will work towards 8 reps over the next few weeks.
Third set of Arnolds was brutal 20, 10, 5,5,5,5 each with a short pause my rear deltoids and front deltoids hurt so bad after I lifted, pains gone now but I definitely can tell I worked out today.
