4-4-14 – Benching with Speed
Posted in Mike Mireles Training Log
Today’s session went very well. I put a lot of emphasis on keeping my range of motion as short as possble by squeezing my shoulder blades together and down. This also created a tighter position to bench from so it made the weight go up a lot easier. I used three different grips during my working sets: close grip, competition grip, and index finger on the ring. I always laugh after completing my wide grip bench presses because the range of motion is so short. All of the reps felt great and the bar was traveling very fast. I finished with floor press and the necessary accessories. Sweet and simple day of training.
