Bench Pressing

WOD today was Bench Press 1 1 1 1 1 1 1. I put in 5 warmup sets at

45x10, 65x10, 65x10, 95x5, 115x1

Workout sets were 1 rep each at

135, 145, 145, 155, 155, 155, 165

Pressing strength hasn't been degraded more than I would expect from a long layoff. I find that the full body tension (even bearing down on my diaphragm) that helps with deadlifts also helps here.
