Finally benching 60kg! Felt good too and had decent leg drive towards the end. Not convinced that the pec fly is doing much for strength. I am only incorporating it for hypertrophy without having to recruit shoulders and triceps. 

Forearms started twitching towards the last few reps of pull ups. I do quite like the pronated grip, allows for more back movement and keeps tension in my lats.

Chest

71.4kg

Bench 57.5kg 5x5

30 degree incline DB press
20kg DB 10/5+2/6+1

Decline bench (smith)
50kg 3x10

Pec fly
35kg 3x10

Happy with my bench. I think the reset from 60kg 3x5 to 55kg 5x5 has really helped with my confidence and strength. Next session will be 60kg 5x5, time to break my plateau!

I think the creatine is retaining water, hence the fast weight gain.
