Today's focus for the bench was the "lockout", and again...GRIPPING the bar as hard as you can to create more tension. The big takeaway from today was the lack of leg drive most people didn't use. Perhaps it was the previous weeks' floor pressing but it seemed we forgot about driving the foot into the floor while choking the shit out of the bar. Today should be a hard grind. Today's Training: AirDyne: 30 mins Pin Press (Bench) Set the pin height to be 4-5 inches from the lockout. Work up to a heavy three reps.
