So failed the third rep on the first set. I was trying to do a slower descent and stay tighter this time. And somehow a combination of doing that, being tired from previous workouts, and nervousness led to me failing my third rep. That was frustrating. My friend said I should reset at 165 and focus on tightness while working my way up. I'm also trying to make a point of bringing my grip in a little bit each workout, even if it's just a quarter of an inch. I'm also holding the bar a little higher on my back and it doesn't move around as much which is good. My left shoulder feels a little uncomfortable but supposedly that'll get better with time and practice.
Bench:
2x5x45
1x5x85
1x5x115
1x1x135
3x5x145

My friend wanted me to bench like it says in SS, instead of how it showed on SYTYCB. So that's what I did. Weight felt fine, a little heavy on the fourth and fifth reps but not so difficult that I felt anywhere near failing a rep.

Many at 65
5x3x80

These went better I think. I'm gripping a lot wider and getting into the stance is difficult. Particularly my hamstring flexibility is stretched a lot. I sometimes want to jump a little early and I need to avoid doing that.
