A light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king.

I was on a mini cut and training fasted, and so had very little energy. Only had one 'heavy' set in me, and didn't want to 'waste' energy slowly working myself up, as that would only take away from the effort I could put into my working set.

Areeb - To make things better (worse for you) I hit 200kg while fasted and on the back of a few days at 1000kcal. I will show you the path to a 200kg deadlift. Stick with me, young warrior.

How come you do incline bench before flat?

I do two chest workouts a week, and I alternate which I do first. One workout will be a little more weight focused, with the emphasis being on shifting more weight than previously, I flat bench first in this workout as I can move more weight. The other workout(today) is purely hypertrophy oriented, focusing on getting solid stretches and contractions, and lots of time under tension.

I feel better pectoral recruitment from incline, and I get a much better stretch/pump while being able to use less weight. Using less weight means I don't pre-fatigue my shoulders, triceps or joints as much, which means I can hit my chest much harder overall, thus inducing better hypertrophy.

Do you find the 3 second waits you do help with hypertrophy? I don't do anything like that for BP and just focus on moving as much as possible (all the way down and up without being too fast obv). If it does I'll be mirrin.

Yep. I get a much better stretch by letting it sink into my chest, and I get lots of tension with the slow negatives. I don't lock out either, so the entire lift maintains lots of constant tension on my chest. I wouldn't base my entire chest workout around it as it isn't the be all and end all, but I think it has its place.

Chest/Shoulders/Triceps

Chest:

Barbell bench press - (not to failure, introducing some 5/3/1 strength work at the start of workouts)
100kg X 5
105kg X 3
110kg X 1

Didn't have a lift off, never again! The rack has steep pegs, I need to lift the bar a good two-three inches to unrack it, by the time I do I'm at full lockout. It basically becomes a tricep press, a 100kg+ tricep press just fatigues the triceps before I've even done a single rep, which obviously is no good.

Incline barbell bench press -
80kg X 12, 9, 7
60kg (slow negative/paused stretch) X 8, 6, 5
60kg X 15, 10, 8

Shoulders:

Dumbbell press -
22kg X 18, 12, 11
25kg X 9
30kg X 5
22kg X 10

Seated side lateral raises -
10kg X 10, 8

Triceps:

Skullcrushers -
EZ bar + 30kg X 7, 6
20kg X 11, 8, 6

Dips -
Bodyweight X 6, 4 (slow negatives with a 1-2 second pause and squeeze at the top for a better contraction, 1-2 second pause at the bottom for a better stretch)

Straight bar cable pushdown -
25kg X 9
