The plan was to hit CG incline, but I couldn't find my groove on it and decided to switch. I was a bit hesitant to do full CG since the strain a few weeks back, so I threw made it a 2-board press. Also, my more narrow grip on bench requires more triceps strength and it's just all around easier on the shoulders.

First time I've done ME with chains, so everything I did on them was a PR. I was hoping to get a bit more and I could if I strapped, but I am in the middle of an overreaching phase and need to be a tad cautious with my recklessness right now. I'll be shirting up tomorrow along with breifs and suit bottoms on Sunday before hitting a deload and testing myself.

Rodja, you ever use straps for deads? Or any pullling excercise for that matter.
Very impressive numbers and detailed log!!

Session was absolutely awful. No burst off of the box and technique was not very good. However, this is exactly what I wanted as it means that I have successfully overreached to now deload and then hit some new PRs.
