Pretty good night, felt good to get back to the normal template of sorts. I branched off from the DE work to get in some shirt work. I opened the back of my shirt so i can pull it down farther and get it closer to my RAW groove. I am very glad i did this, the pop is much better at this new angle. I came to this conclusion after analyzing my form and determined that i cannot get the shirt down far enough with the back closed and it was causing me to bench higher on my chest. Since this was not my true ME day i stopped at the 385 which was my previous PR, this flew up so i know something is right about the shirt now. My plan for this is to incorporate more lockout work since i am getting more pop with the shirt this way. i was sweating my ass off by the end of this work out as all sets were done with 30 sec's rest, i actually felt a little sick to my stomach which i havent experienced in a long time,refreshing yet nauseating at the same time, make sense? oh well.... thats it for today.
