Paused Close Grip Axle Bench

12x70

6x120

3x150

10x3x180 - Felt strong(er) and fast(er) than last week even with a slight bump to intensity.

Reverse Grip Lat Pulldowns/Shotput Press

10x100/10x20

3x{10x135/15x20}

I used a 4 count negative on the pulldowns with an exaggerated emphasis on scapular depression before and during the reps.  These were great because besides just being a vertical pull, they also let me focus on the position of my shoulder blades, which has been a little jacked up recently, and also worked biceps well, which is great since I hate doing curls (but I do need to be doing them more often to prevent stupid injuries to my stupid biceps).
