Spoke with Ex over the weekend, what a stand up guy, I am not a paying client but yet he spent 30 mins going over lifts with me and we gonna try a new bench setup to get my legs more involved.Basically moving my feet out front a bit and trying to get my ass off the bench. I deloaded last week so I thought why not work up and see how this feels, the work up went great but as I got sweatier and sweatier it became real hard to not slide off the bench!! I chalked the shit up out of my back and the bench but no dice! I missed 120kg but I am sure with a little practice and refinement I’ll nail it very soon cos the warm-ups moved faster than they have in a long time. I did some tris after then hit bis and rows to finish.

Shoulders feel banged up from Sundays benching, so I decided to work em hard!

Straight weight today, gonna wave from 50% to 60% for 3 weeks.And work on boards with a good pause for supp work.I used 3 grips, most sets were done wide as I need to adjust to Johns insistence that I bench pointer on rings! I had 50% moving pretty quick, I need to shoot John another vid so this is a reminder to do so tonight as I moved my feet closer in.This was the first time in months I have benched without low back pain so I better be on a fricken winner here! Did some tris after and some delts to finish with pullaparts. Solid day, bench felt good.

Hit the floor press today for a single, I think I found an exercise I need to be hitting hard again, my floor press is down about 20lbs still, which I guess is good in one way cos it means my leg drive on bench is better!, had a shitty day and only managed to hit 110kg, def feeling beat up at the moment, work is very stressful right now.

Restarted my wave again this week, I used just 50% for 10 sets then hit up 2 boards.2 things here,1) Doing the wide grip board work without wraps is getting me used to the wide grip very quickly. Good stuff! 2) I need to pause on the board a little longer (I want to pause these for 3 secs). Moved to paused pin extensions after for sets of 10 then finished with chins, 3-4 grips 45 reps with 5kg.Threw in some front raises to finish, I was nicely swole after the chins and tris..

Just glancing over your notes
Why would you want to do this ?

In any meet I've been in this is a no lift.
Use your legs ( as you mentioned ) but keep your ass on the bench and drive your legs into the ground.

What's your bodyweight at these days? And I'm not sure I've ever asked but what is your height?
