Didn't have time to foam roll and do mobility warm ups, so used the pec deck to get some blood flowing into the muscles, and I think it helps warm the muscle up pretty well; will continue using this method of warming up for future pressing sessions. Substituted the flat bench for the low incline bench as I prefer this movement. Decline angle for the decline DB bench was very slight, utilizing only a single plate to prop up the flat bench. Overall, was very surprised with my strength levels as haven't been doing much high rep training and I thought I'd be fatigued by the time I was done with the low incline bench, but the 45s still felt surprisingly easy. Shoulder dislocates were done with the band (shoulder-width grip) just as a form of active stretching in between the sets. Ended off with some hammer curls and barbell curls (who doesn't want big arms?), and to save time, did the barbell curls with a 3 sec negative.

I ate a burger after that.
