Last Heavy Bench Day Before Elk River

Today was the day to exorcise the retarded bench demons. I need to become consistent with my form if I hope to ever make any progress. The plan today was more reps, less weight, more detardation, less retardation....

Contest warmup - 12/45, 8/95, 4/115, 2/135

Katana

2 @ 165, no touch, to set the shirt

Full Range with press command:

2 @ 185
2 @ 185
2 @ 185

All good.

Why were they good????

Good set up, including leg drive, stayed tight, brought the bar down quicker, elbows out, load the shirt, kept back tight and flared back properly. Elbows, elbows. It actually works when I do it right. Damn.

Kennellys and Hammer curls with plate mates.

Fat Lorenzo's Pizza, beer, then later, well, more beer. And lots of it. So I've cut out sugar and replaced it with beer. Brilliant.
