Notes:

  • Bench form felt great today. Very tight through the whole body, particularly upper back and quads. Bar path felt awesome once I got into the groove
  • I’m really enjoying the chest-supported rows over one-arm rows leaning on the rack. I’m feeling a much stronger contraction with less overall fatigue on this variant
  • Finished the workout with band curls rest-paused to 100 reps. Partly for the elbow health, and partly for the pump
