Testing out the Thompson Fat Pad today. Should be interesting.

Paused Reverse Grip Bench Press

  • 140 x 10
  • 230 x 3
  • 280 x 1
  • 320 x 1
  • 370 x 1
  • 420 x 0
    • Dammit
  • 380 x 2
    • Wanted 3, but missed on the 3rd.
    • Fat Pad is good so far. Width of the pad makes benching much more stable, but the "Grabber" vinyl cover is not as non-slip as the sandpaper/grip tape I was using on the other bench. Might add grip tape to the Fat Pad. We'll see.

Ever since I started taking strength training seriously, I was bitten by the Iron Bug. Then it burrowed under my skin and laid eggs in my heart. Now those eggs are hatching and I... the feeling is indescribable.
