I'm Inclined to Agree

     Tonight's max effort lift was the close grip incline bench. After a little hiccup in the order of events, we got stuff done. Here's what we did:

65lb x5

75lb x3

85lb x1

95lb x1

105lb x1

115lb x1

105lb x3

*The last one was ugly as hell, but I'm counting it. Ugly reps still count!

     I'll tell ya, I don't know what it is about having to pivot when someone is on the equipment that you need, but it really screws me up. I wanted to start with the incline but someone was on it, so we began with some accessories. I was worried that by the time we got to the bench, I wouldn't have much strength left, but I think it went pretty OK. I'm actually kind of pleased with the 115lb. 

   I also tried to be very mindful of activating my lats on the accessories and not utilizing my arms too much. I think I did well on that too. 

     Not too much else to say about any of it, so now it's off to rest and have some tea (and think about tomorrows' max deadlifts).
