3-5-14 – Keeping It Close
Posted in Ozzy Capetillo Training Log
Today was close grip bench day for me and I decided to go heavy on my work sets while using the one board. The hardest part for me doing close grip is not flaring out on the way up. I know that if I keep my elbows in that the weight will come up much faster and better. On my three working sets, I did 185 for 5 which felt exceptionally easy, 205 I attempted 5 but I failed right after 4, then lastly 225 which I only got 1, attempted 2 but didn’t get it. I’m going to use this as a learning experience for next time.
