Charlie, if your feet flew up, you’re not using any leg drive, chica! Didn’t get a vid of your bench, by chance, did ya?

All I needed was at least 1 rep of 100lbs today(would have been a new pr) almost, my feet flew up and everything. 
Will be a repeat of those weights after deload.
Both OH press and bench will be repeats.

You started too heavy. I would think about dropping your max too.
It’s better to be hitting rep PR’s on your as many as possible sets, then just hitting the requirements. Some days you will be ‘off’ and just hit the prescribed reps, but getting 5 & 6’s on your 3RM day is better than grinding out 3 and that being hard as hell to get the third.
The way I see it, and I could be wrong, I’d rather hit 3 or 4 on my 1RM day, and bail when form deteriorates rather than use shit form to grind out 1 or 2 just to say I hit it for two, ya know what I mean?

Word, at worst you shouldn’t need to readjust your numbers until you hit your third cycle.
CH, I suppose you can hit 95# on the bench?
Then figure out your numbers with 95# x 90% = 85.5#
lets get dangerous…

I have been doing 5/3/1 since Feb and this is the first time that I have missed. I went up 5 lbs like I am supposed to. So not sure what you mean buy dropping max. Do you mean repeat the last successful 4 week set instead of the unsuccessful 4 week set after my deload and then try to repeat the unsuccessful one after that?
Started too heavy? Do you mean that day? That lift was the last set that day, I had no problem with the 75% or 85% totals that day. Just the 95%. Same with 90% the week before and 85% the week before that. The final sets were the ones sucking.
And to Bro Chris yes I hit 95Lbs for 3 reps.
To Ink, no did not get vid, I have been forgetting my camera when I go to the gym. :-/
I do need to work on my bench form yep.
edit If I am getting video of bench form should it be with deload weight or wait until it is week one weight, so it is heavier?
