After having set an all-time PR on my equipped bench press with 457lbs, I'm now in off season mode getting back to some heavy training while running my gym, THIRST.

After having a good weekend of rest, Monday I was back at it hitting a new variation for me. Every couple of months I'll do this so I have fun and can see if I'll have a movement I might want to save during a meet prep. A decent amount of volume on my accessory work, and I called it an evening.
