These last couple weeks before the meet I'm doing some lighter upper body volume in place of the heavy floor and pin presses I've been doing for the last 5 weeks. Today was close grip bench and ultra wide grip (as wide as I could go in the rack) for reps along with a lot of lat work. My latest article, 3 Powerlifting Rules We Keep Forgetting, also came out today. It includes a couple tips/concepts that I know are easy for me to neglect, and I've been really trying to focus on them this training cycle..
A1. Neutral Grip Lat Pulldowns - 4x10
A2. Cable Tricep Pushdowns - 4x20
B. Close Grip Bench - 4x10 w/ 225lbs
