Notes
Solid incline PR at 225x7. Old PR was 225x5. Left 1-2 in the tank as well. 275x1 ties my incline one rep max. It was a slight grind, but not bad. I was hoping for a double, but didn't want to risk a missed lift when things are going so well, so I racked it. Also, I felt moderate fatigue in my triceps from the 225 set. I have no doubt I could have gone heavier without a fatiguing rep set beforehand. Thats kinda the catch .22 of this setup of 531 I guess. I'm not complaining, the reps are great and obviously what is behind the strength gains. I want the 1 rep maxes mostly for my ego. Got to try to be patient.
