12-2-14 – Max Effort Close Grip Bench Press
Today was Day 2 to getting my training back together. I am a little sore from my session but not as much as I thought. I wanted to work my triceps a little more today so heavy close grip bench press was the perfect solution! From my warm ups to my last heavy set, every rep felt great! I focused on keeping my upper back as tight as possible and keep my heels driven into the ground. This gave me a solid foundation to push from. I didn’t take a hand off on any of my sets because I feel that this helps condition my shoulders even more. I probably should have taken a hand off on my last set, but I survived. I did all of my accessories in a circuit for the “cardio” aspect. Great session today! Coming back slowly but surely!
