A nice Bench PR, I guess... at this point I will take what I can get. A couple weeks ago I had the same set up with the Red Elitefts shoulder saver and elitefts mini bands.

Bench with bands and shoulder saver barx5 135x5 185x5 225x3 275x3 315x1 335x1 365x1 390x1 for a 5 lb PR from a couple weeks ago.

I felt really good. My plan is to use this variation every 3rd week and keep hitting 5lb PRs as long as I can. I'm hoping this will help me get used to feeling heavier weights in my hands.

Accessory work: Close Grip bench with shoulder saver and bands 3x10 at 225 lbs

DB Tri Rollbacks on the incline bench: 5x10 superset Band Tri Pushdowns 3x20
