Notes: Much better than last week, although I had trouble feeling confident for Thursday's bench presses, and that held me back.  The triple was one set, then I racked it and adjusted my shoulders for the first double.  The second double was 2 minutes later.  I'd feel wrong counting the first two sets as a single set, so I didn't.
