On the upFollowing a recent comment by John I decided to reinstate some incline benching into my workouts - 15 degrees at a time. The bench has settings at 15, 30 and 45 degrees; I'll be using the first two (the 45 is about where shoulder pain begins).

Worked up to a comfortable 5RM at 60kg, then dropped back to 50 for a bit of speed work (all except the last 2 sets - painfully slow, but the bar went up eventually).

Finished off with a couple of sets of weighted chins. Love them.

Incline bench press (15 deg) 10@20kg, 5@40kg, 5@50kg, 5@60kg
Incline bench press (15 deg) - explosive 8×3@50kg
Chin-up 8@10kg, 3@20kg
Pull-up 10@bw
