Okay, so I DIDN'T move to PUs like I said I would. After watching this Dave Tate video, I decided go ahead and give bench another shot, keeping myself tight and holding the bar up for a bit before starting the lift. It seemed to help. I didn't need a spotter, and I did a moderately difficult, but still somewhat easy 3x5 of 175lbs. I thought I could do a 3RM of 185, but I was a bit safer and smarter this time and didn't even attempt it.

As far as the chin-ups go, I think I could've gotten the full 3x8 if my grip hadn't been shot by the shrugs. My traps seem strong enough for a lot of weight, and those shrugs really do nothing more than train my grip... which I appreciate, as well, honestly. All-in-all, I think this was a good day, although I cut my ab circuit short because this girl and I ended up always being in the same spot, and I didn't want to appear creepy or anything.
