Notes: 3:45 between sets of benching, 2:00 between dips.  This was a solid workout, but I'm seeing myself heading right back to where I was before.  With bodyweight dropping, bench doesn't have much potential for growth.  I'm planning a few things to make this workout just a little bit different.  Two possible COAs are adding an extra set on all movements once rest times drop below 3 minutes, another is to bring in the slingshot, with a third possible COA of doing both and using the slingshot ON the added last set.  I may also just employ a rest pause at the end.

The issue with adding sets is that it'll have a cumulative effect on the later work, so I'll get an extra set on flat bench, then go to do close grip and be even MORE fatigued than usual.  But if I'm at peace with rep drop offs for the later half of the cycle, I think it will work.

Didn't stretch yesterday.  Ran a lot of chores and life got in the way.
