Shoulder is still trashed from Monday's workout.  Still throbbing and hurting.  Tomorrows day off is much needed.  I was able to match up or equal all bench but first round.  I did not have my shoulder warmed up enough.  The shoulder hurt every rep of every set.  First set the worst.  I wish I could get down under 185 with some consistancy.  I was 190 yesterday AM and very happy I weighed in at 188 this AM.  I was hoping to be at my low for the last few weeks of 186 but that did not happen.  I was pleased with pull up sets.  Frustrated with grip issues.  If that had not failed on me I know there were a few more reps to be had in almost every round.  Good improvement there.

Five rounds for max reps of:
Body weight bench press 188lbs
Pull-ups
I was excited about this one. This one hurt. Even taking good rest this one beat the snot out of me. I am typing this 4 hours after the work out and I am very drained in my arms, and torso. Last round of bench press I had the left side to the peg just could not get it on right side had 2 inches, pretty torked about this. Last two rounds of pull ups sucked no rythm what so ever.
