I went for the 5x5x90kg today and actually got every rep up. My butt left the bench a little bit on the last rep of set four, but I'm counting it. I'm pretty happy about this. Especially since my triceps and neck were sore as fuck from a combatives session yesterday.

I'm thinking dropping all the swimming during the week probably allowed for better recovery, so I'll keep up with the no-swimming policy until next week when I go for 5x5x92.5kg

I did 4 sets of 15 overhead dumbbell presses afterwards with 12.5kg in each hand. Getting full extension was a bit of a struggle on the last rep on all the sets, but felt good otherwise.

Thanks for the advice, guys.
