55mins

Decided to do 5 sets for DB incline and rows instead of 4 today, so I dropped the reps/set by 1-2. Incline was really good and on the 5th set I had 7 reps all but locked out. Didn't quite get it, but these were really good. I decided to do incline fly's next rather than later in the WO like I normally do and I went higher reps today. These were also really good. I supersetted these with heavy underhand t-bar rows. I then did heavy chest press, which was harder than normal after a lot of chest work already, but really good. I supersetted these with lighter overhand t-bar rows, really controlling the weight and getting a really good stretch and contraction.  Felt great and I was a little surprised all the rowing felt good after heavy DL yesterday.

I only did lateral/rear delt combo today because I figured front delts already got a lot of work from incline and incline fly's. Someone was squatting on the smith machine, so I did close grip bench with a regular barbell. I had to drop the weight, but was a little surprised that I still liked these a lot. I just couldn't push as close to failure as I can on the smith. Finished it up
with tri pushdowns.

Great WO. Liked the 5x5 even though it's really the same volume as 4x6 I'd been doing.

Nutrition:
I weighed 181.8 this morning...great! Up just a tad from yesterday which is about what I wanted. Meaning, I wanted to make sure I ate enough after yesterday's WO to fuel the muscles. I'll do the same today.
