completed 8/16 a.m. at the Y.

x5 = 185, 205
x3 = 225, 235, 235 
x1 = 250, 255, 265, 275

some back arch on the heavy x1's, but havent put up 275 since 2015 so that was awesome.

210404 - 185, 185, 205, 210, 215, 225, 235, 245, 245 (home gym)

This is about as good as my shoulder has felt during bench for quite some time.  Glad to get 220 for a triple.  Was pretty tired after that, so not too surprised that I couldn’t get 240 for a single.

Could have pushed to 295-300 but I don’t have a spotter. Fun to hit some heavy bench every so often.

3s: 110-12-125
1s: 130-140-150-155*
*155 was shaky

150 is bodyweight and PR; 155 is new PR if it counts.
Most interesting: 150 felt pretty easy; 155 was soberingly hard. Is that a normal progression for this movement?

Assuming equipment is an issue I would sub/scale to dumbbell bench press. I have used plyo box as bench. Not ideal but better than floor for me. You can probably use kbells instead of db's too. If that fails go to pushups. If you can't weight them, try clapping push ups for extra intensity.
