ME shirted bench did not go as it was planned. In all honesty i totally wimped out and avoided what I was supposed to do. I was supposed to do full range triples, 4 sets of a challenging weight. Shit I came up with every excuse in my head not to do this. I ended up doing some descending board work but I didn't get near the work or volume I was supposed to.

Bench Bar(50lbs)x30x3 140x12x3 190x5 230x1 280x1 320x1 Black catapult 370x1 410x1 Metal Prototype shirt 500x3 3bd 590x2 2bd 640x1 1bd *The 640 to 1bd moved as good if not better as my bench ever has at that high a weight. I don't put a whole lot of stock into how my bench progresses via board work but 640 moved pretty fast, for me.

Giant press down with 4in grenade handles 4 sets of 30

Band lat pull through *helps bring the weight out on bench and accept it into my lats 4 sets of 20
