Press
worked up to 155, then did 2 waves of 145, 150 and 155, ending with 145.

Incline Bench
started at 155, worked up to 215, then did 2 waves of 205, 210, 215, ending with 205.

Close grip bench
started at 205, worked up to 225, then did 2 waves of 215, 220, 225, ending with 215.

Chest circuit
A1: Incline DB flyes
A2: Dips
A3: Bench machine with band

Used 50s for flyes, bodyweight for dips and 100ibs on the bench machine. Did 10 reps for each exercise, no rest in between exercises. 3 triple sets total.

By the time I reach the 3rd exercise for my strength movements, my shoulders are actually pretty beat up, and not wanting to risk another injury, I figured i'd use close grip bench as my 3rd strength movement instead of a regular bench to give my shoulders a break. Chest circuit is way more tiring than it sounds, i think that's mostly because my chest is just so damn weak.
