Notes: Fairly certain this is the only time I've ever benched 300lbs for double digits.  Pulling it off with 3 hours of sleep is just a cherry on top.  I felt AWFUL, and was really hoping to hit 10 just to beat my previous best of 9.  That extra rep was awesome.  5/3/1 has been a boon for my bench and press; I will absolutely be buying the presale book on Friday.  I encourage every one else to do the same.
Chins (various grips)
1x25
4x20
Band pull aparts
5x20
Notes: Performed between sets of benching.
Circus dumbbell (unloaded at 85lbs)

Notes: There is a significant learning curve on this.  The first set is always rough, and after that I get much better.  Video is of the second set.  Third set was even stronger.  I think I might pack the DB on my road trip so I can warm-up with it.
Keg clean and press 100lbs
7 reps per side
Notes: Figure each day I'll start with the CDB and finish off with another implement.  I cleaned as many reps as I could on this before dying.
Hammer curls 40
4x10
General notes: No weigh in today.  Stayed overnight at work with little sleep, so this was a great performance all things considered.
Damn man, beastly session. With that db, you might consider trying to get the bell more vertical like this

Thanks man. Definitely trying to emulate some of the stuff I've seen. I like how he grabs the lip to get it in place. I might try something similar.
