So, I needed to be spotted on the last two reps of the 185, so I went back down to 175. I think I'm trying to rush this too hard, but it's super frustrating. I'm going to take a break from bench early and go to weighted pull-ups next week. I'll continue to do a DB bench as a supplemental in case that can help me quite a bit.
The increase in weight on the rows was fine, but the overhead press was too heavy, at least when it comes to supersetting, so I had to go back down for the last set.
I went to a lower weight on the shrugs this time around, partly because I didn't remember what the last weight was, and partly because the 50s were already out. Lol. Everything seemed okay with them. I'll try to do 15 reps at 65lbs next time.
And my chins were one rep worse this time around. Not quite sure why. On a side note, I weighed in at 157 today.. three pounds lighter than the last time I checked, even though I haven't really been trying to lose anymore. I'm not complaining or anything. I'll just allow myself a cheat more frequently than every two weeks for the sake of staying sane.
Before I post this on the other forums, I want to do the sprint intervals... but that'll be AFTER class, so later on in the night when I edit this. I don't expect to do more than two intervals, to be quite honest. But I'll increase the numbers in the coming weeks.

400m sprints x2 (10 breaths of rest)
Yeah, I was right. That was all I lasted. My entire posterior chain is on fire right now.
