Reverse Grip Bench Press
New bench shoes! (Actually they're my old Asics wrestling shoes).
Wore these instead of the Nike Romaleos 2 because there's less of a heel. I find that when wearing the weightlifting shoes (with a 0.75" heel), I have to be careful with the power of my leg drive, or I risk driving my butt off the bench.
With these wrestling shoes, there's less of a heel, so I can drive hard with my legs without having to worry about my butt coming off the bench.
Also, it matches my rack. Kinda.
