PR On Incline Bench

[WalkingBeast]

Hey everyone! Just wanted to post up a PR I hit on the incline bench. I hit 275 for 12 3/4 reps today. Just short of lockout on the 13th rep. Thats basically a 2 rep PR from my best of 275x11 when I was at my peak, before the injury. So it looks like Im getting back. Heres the routine I did today, as shown in my journal:

Sunday 6-13-04 Upper Chest,Speed Bench, Shoulders, Rear Delts,Triceps and Abs (KILLED THAT SHIT!!!!)

Today was a real good workout. I did 48 sets overall. I hit a PR with 275 for 12 3/4 reps on the incline bench. Just missed lockout. 275 for 11 reps was my best before the injury, and at my peak! I was very surprised to exceed that this early. My strength may already be back, or slightly better on all benches. That "No-Xplode" supplement seems to be kicking in, its definately giving me some great sharpness and energy before my workouts. It still seems strange since I dont feel as big as before, but Im glad its coming back!! I also managed 315x4 on the incline after the 275 set. I decided to go freestyle with my routine today instead of the 5X5. But I will continue 5X5 with flat bench, and plan to hit 315 for 5X5 on thursday for sure. Heres the routine:
