Chest / Back

Bench 135x8, 155x8, 175x5 (I couldn't get up the weight for #5, someone helped get it off)
Fly 40x8, 45x8, 50x8
Decline bb bench 95x8, 115x8, 135x8

Deadlift 95x10, 115x8, 135x8
Machine Row 150x10, 165x8, 175x8

It concerns me that I'd had all this progress on the bench press and now I've been using the form where I take the bar to my chest and all of a sudden I can't lift 175 for 8 reps. I'm recording this the day after--my chest is sore a bit, so I know that my form is OK. I say this because I know there is the possibility in having bad form and actually building up my shoulders instead of my chest. Anyway, I hope to be back to 225# in a few months and be able to bring it down to my chest. I hope to get a progress picture taken in the next week or two--hope it goes well.
As for the diet, I haven't really been focusing on it but trying to get my protein via the whey powder. We went to Chili's last night and instead of having the black bean burger, I had the real thing with a lot more fat. Steph says this week we'll be eating a lot healthier so hopefully I'll have some BF loss this week.
