(Very good workout, it seems that the light speed bench work last week helped with recovery because I feel alot better than I normally would with the old routine. Gonna try out a Westside template for awhile and see how the results do. Also I tried out the false grip today and it felt alot better on my wrists, maybe this helped with the pressing power. Because with this grip I felt it alot in the triceps.)
