Push went well even with lower reps, I had to get it through my skull I cant high rep my max bench weights, reality has set it. That being said I can increase the weight with the higher reps, no?
Today I used a swiss bar I have in the garage, it worked my chest harder than straight bar big time, I will begin to mix things up with this bar. On the flyes I kept elbows slightly bent, went deep off the bench and stayed lined up with the nipple plane hell of a finishing exercise. I was so gassed I could barely hit 48 reps on 135lbs to finish my 50 rep shredder set. But the pump was insane, I have some small separation in top and lower pec, super sweet. Down the road this will become more pronounced I'm sure. No sure if its Primo or not but I have some more volume overall, its kinda tight, firmer than Deca swell but more refined looking.
Here's the weights: I would like to set a goal of 205 -215 for my high rep sets, is that a bad idea, dangerous? Dips Id liek to add back some weight but today I could barely go to 90 degrees. Shoulders feel really good, should I bump to 25 or stay where they are at, what about another set? Are my sets good overall, I can push another set across the board if need be.

Apart from this, how should my macros be stacked out for goals? Am I about right 400 protein, 50-60 fat, 100 or so carbs?
Thank you guys so so much
