Yes I had my second bench workout yesterday and it went a little better then my first but I don't really know how to log it becsue we more worked on keeping the weight going down in the groove and working with the shirt. We did a bunch of singles and then some triples hitting a big pipe. I was having a hard time locking out the weight on the singles I think because I was expending so much energy on the way down and overthinking. Getting the bar to touch with 185 was difficult and took some time to work it.
Oh I don't use that PVC in my bench workout, only on my second day when I do close-grip or another random bench exercise when I work on my set up.
I m going to look at those videos. That is one thing that Lori has menitoned and that they were telling me last night. Right now it is still hard for me to keep everything straight during the bench...feet flat, arched, butt touching, stomach out, pinch shoulders, etc. I am hoping that as the weeks go by it becomes more natural and easier to work on something specific, I understand why you want to do that just right now it is hard for me to put it in practice.
We are going to tighten up my shirt, sleeves first by 1/2 inch. Next week will probably be brutal in it.
