No Snappy Title

The program had benching with chains tonight. I was excited because I finally got some old chains to use. Then I got unexcited when I realized it was 2 massive lengths and I couldn't use them. They'll get cut into proper lengths this weekend but in the meantime, I needed to switch things up. So we did max DB bench. I don't have a huge selection of dumb bells, but we made do. Here's what got done:
DB BENCH:
15lb x8
25lb x5
30lb x3
45lb x1
50lb x2
60lb FAIL
45lb x3
O.H. PRESS / PENDLAY ROWS:
(bar x12 / bar x12) 5x
RENEGADE ROWS:
(15lb x10) 3x
DIAMOND PUSHUPS:
(x6) 2x
H.K.R.
(x10) 2x
••••••••••
The diamond pushups are still a work in progress. I watched some technique videos again and tweaked my form. They're still not deep enough, but if I keep at them, they'll get there.
I'm not sure why I did 2 of the 50lb presses, I was only supposed to do 1. I tried the DB benches with the 60lb, but I couldn't get them on my legs to get them in position. I think if they were the flat-bottomed style, I could've done it, but they're the old-school kind that have a screw-on nut to hold the plates on them. It makes them super uncomfortable to rest on your thighs and then kick them up. Oh well. I'm not far off and at least I got 2 of the 50lb! 
All in all, a good night. I know tomorrow is lower body, but I'm not sure exactly what, so I'll have to have just general pre-leg day anxiety 😂.
