Earlier this month, I competed at CPU Nationals, placing second in the 63kg open category with an 825 lb total, just one pound behind first place. With the guidance of Steve Goggins, I am in pursuit of greatness, both on and off the platform.
My program calls for benching three times a week, which some weeks can be a bit much on my shoulders. I talked to Goggins and we added in the shoulder saver pad on my pause bench days. I think this is a great tool to add in, and will allow me to work with heavier weight in my hands.
