Paused Reverse Grip Bench Press

  • 140 x 8
  • 230 x 3
  • 280 x 1
  • 340 x 1
  • 395 x 2 * PR!
    • Wore a thin, slick shirt during warm ups. Felt like my body would slide inside the shirt during my PR set, and felt too lazy to go upstairs to grab a new shirt so I just benched topless. Back wasn't sweaty yet. Gave me an opportunity to see what it was like to bench without a shirt on the Thompson Fat Pad.

Reverse Grip Bench Press

  • 320 x 3,3
    • Still not used to the touch and go presses. Felt difficult reversing direction right away instead of pausing.

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.
