Speed Bench
190x8x3
CGBP
225,245,260
275x4
Was a little gassed before these, as I was supposed to hit 5 reps. This is still a great set for me.
Unfortunately I think I could have had five reps if I didn't make a mistake that is common for me whenever I am using relatively heavy weight for myself.
When I set up before the lift I subconsciously lay too close to the hooks so when I start repping I usually ding the bar off the hooks. This messes with my rhythm hard and today it forced me to move my entire body forward while I was holding the bar at the top of the rep. I think I could have had 5.... Am I making excuses? Yes.

Holy crap, got baked last night. This workout was crazy.
If any of you have smoked weed a couple of times you will be familiar with what I am referring to. You know how if you smoke within a couple of hours before bed and you go to sleep stoned you wake up with like a mental hangover. Not physically draining like a hangover from alcohol, but more of a mental cloudiness where your just not at your full alertness. Like you'll do something, and 5 minutes later you'll remember you did it but you forgot the details of how you did it.
Last night was the first time I smoked for over a year, since I got regularly drug tested this past year for school. I still had the muscle memory of how to take a solid hit from a piece and hold it in so I could take monster rips. My buddy and I packed 3 bowls in half an hour last night and I got blitzed. I went to bed an hour later.
I swear I was still baked this morning, I spent the day hoping this mental cloudiness would leave me before my workout, when I would need to concentrate completely for my max effort day. I still felt completely out of it walking into the gym, it was a terrible feeling I had already chalked the day up as a wasted workout before I even started my warm up sets.
Board Press
135
185
205
225
245
265
285
300x5
I did 290x5 about 5 weeks ago. This was awesome, I don't know how I gathered the focus to pump this out.
After this I was feeling odd so I decided to put 315 on the bar and subtract the board
Regular Bench
315x1
No idea why I did this, keep in mind this was after maxing out the board press. It was a fight but I got it.
Did some assistance and called it a day. Certainly not a wasted workout, however if I was 100% I'm sure it could have been more productive.
No more smoking for this guy.

Yeah my tolerance is nonexistent after quitting for over a year. It would be awesome if I was lifting because I would just smoke everyday and get ridiculously high.
