Back to it.

ME Bench (first workout with shirt)

45 x 5
45 x 5
95 x 5
95 x 5
135 x 3
185 x 2
225 x 1 (put shirt on)
275 x 1
315 x 1
335 x 1
365 x 1 (new pr)
375 x 1 (missed)

Peeled the shirt off to inspect the damage.
The shirt helped right off the chest and made me feel really stable. The heavy rack lockouts I've been doing deffinately paid off where the shirt has little effect at the end of the movement.

Wide grip incline bench press

185 x 8
225 x 8
225 x 8

Pullups

DB Flys
40 x 10
35 x 12
40 x 15

Close grip cable rows

This was a great workout.

So that's 365 on regular bench huh. Not bad for a li'l guy in a stretchy shirt. i notice yer doing rep work on yer chest (yeah "yer"="you're" & "your". It bugs me too.) after the ME set. Yer not separating 'em out at all?

It's fine to do rep work after your max effort sets. Just don't overdo it. Also, I usually change up the range of motion for the rep work. For example, If I do heavy flat bench, I'll do my rep work on incling/decline bech or dips.
