Bench press
277.5 x 5
315 x 3
355 x 1
277.5 x 8
Same as last cycle, but lighter bodyweight and with sore shoulders from Muay Thai. Very pleased. With how heavy the build-up sets felt I wasn't sure I'd get 355 (which was one helluva grinder, by the way).

Pull-ups
15
45 x 10

Strict press (clean once)
155 x 10, 10

Chin-ups
45 x 10, 10
90 x 8, 8

Dumbbell skullcrushers
50s x 8

Kettlebell skullcrushers
50 x 8 (drop-set from dumbbells)
X 12

Curls

The thumb loop on my wrist wraps broke so I ordered a new pair of Slingshot ones. At $40 these are twice the asking price of my previous ones, and most similar products on Amazon, but after receiving them in the mail I'm glad I bought them. Compared to my old pair they're thicker, MUCH softer, longer, and most importantly have the thumb loop attached at both ends so that piece will last longer (and it's more comfortable that way).
