#MaxEffort #closeGripBench here was tenuous affair: after 220 and 230, the 245 PR got a bit iffy toward lockout, possibly because I wasn't sufficiently "rooted" for the leg drive and misgrooved a bit until after a little adjustment. Then it was 195x2x5 backdowns.

#MaxEffort #closeGripBench here for 215, 225, a failed PR of 245, and successful salvage rep of 235. I'll get that 245 next time for sure. Then it was backdowns of 185x2x5 with a really decent clip, especially on the second set.

#MaxEffort #closeGripBench here for 225, 235, and two failed attempts at the 245 PR. I'll definitely get it next time. Backdowns were just a repeat of 185x2x5.

#MaxEffort #closeGripBench for 195, 215, 225, and that 240 PR, which just so happens to exceed my competition best #benchPress (with my competition grip width, of course), and then my submax backdown of 185x2x5. That's three PRs on this variation inside of three months, averaging 5lb/month.

#MaxEffortMethod #closeGripBench for 195, 225, and 235 with a 240 miss followed by 190x2x5 backdowns. I suppose I can't complain much about that 240 miss, given I put 15lb on this lift over two sessions and maintained it on the third; that's already a rate which would net me 60lb/yr, unchecked.

Second #MaxEffortMethod session with #closeGripBench, this time for 215, 230, and 235, putting 5 and then 10 on my last best and putting me within 5% of my best paused #benchPress. Backed down with 185x2x5. Loving this tighter grouping for single attempts, also always love Wu-Tang for bench.

#MaxEffortMethod on #closeGripBench for 215 and 225. Elbow tendinitis still getting me down, but nowhere near so gnarly as the last time I benched. Backed this off just shy of 80% for 175x2x5, then onto the rest of this "upper" day.

And this is with way less frequency on heavy #reverseGripBench than I as using at the time (one session every two weeks now versus one every ten days then), although I rotate it with #closeGripBench weekly. I am beginning to back three sets close grip off with two of light reverse grip, though.

Hmm, 200x5 PR on #closeGripBench today, conceivably a 220x5 PR on #reverseGripBench should be doable next week, despite having a harder time with 215x5 than I ought to have had last week.

So far so good on my first week of this #powerlifting prep. Got a solid 325x5x5 on #squat (been a while since my knee would tolerate 5x5) and banging out some mean fahves on #closeGripBench at 190. Still got some #SLDL at 325 and some developmental #ringTraining yet, then two days rest'll be callin'

What is it with this guy? Mere days before I bring #closeGripBench into rotation for the first time ever and he puts out a video on exactly that. This happened before with reverse-grip and also similarly with BTN press.
