Glad I could help. I'd hope you could bench more than him already. He's like ... nham. :s

Thanks for the tip, I will try that out next time. That sounds more psychology than brosciencey imo, and there is a lot of that involved in weight lifting. Any practiced discipline really.
8/9:
Bodyweight: 197.4
foam roll + lax ball glutes + left shoulder/tricep
Power Clean:
5x45
3x45
3x65
3x95
3x115
5x3x145
Just kinda worked on form and felt that watching the Olympics has helped me with that.
DL:
5x145
5x185
5x225
5x255
8x285 (1rm 361, -31)
lol, I took a long break after the 255 set. I am on a calorie deficit though, so I guess this will happen from time to time. Also, I just realized I was supposed to do 220, 250, 285.. I doubt it made a big difference.
Incline Bench:
10x45
10x135
2x7x135
Hey an improvement from pain! Didn't actually have any pain at all, so who knows.
Back Extensions:
3x20xBW
Barbell Curls:
(in the squat rack)
3x10x45
switched it up from the dumbbells because the squat rack was open.. Last time this hurt my wrists a little bit, but this time I think I had a different grip which produced no agitation.
