TODAYS WORK! ...with an update on last week's fiasco of a bench press. I discovered that the bar I was using has rings set in 1" inside of the rings on the bar I typically use. So not only was I using a different bar but was doing a VERY close grip which would explain why my elbows were ridiculously tucked and I kept hitting low! Either way..it was a lesson learned and I STILL need to do work on my full range power!
todays DE day...

barx20x1
135x3x1
225x3x1
315x3x1
335x3x1
365x3x1 effortless... I fixed my grip problem and they not only hit perfectly everytime but went up just as fast as my 225 set did on video! What I plan on doing is doing a DE triple day like this every other DE session for upper body while cycling out 135,155, and 185 for DE triples for speed due to how much I see it being done with alot of my benching buddies with big numbers. I was very pleased today. After figuring out the grip problem, the weight felt EASY! I could've gotten a few more reps with 365 but I called it a day. Also on these days, because I'm benching heavier weights for speed.. I'm doing bodyweight exercises for accessory work.
