5-27-14 – ME Incline Bench & Major Glute Bridge LOL
So today was all kinds of messed up for me. But I worked hard, so it ended well. I started out picking my warm up sets and I jumped too high, too quick, then had to back it down a bit. I forgot incline bench is going to be less than flat bench, duh! My sets were going well, until my last max single…… you know, when I let myself break form completely and let my ass go sky high just to lock out and finish the lift. LOL you’ll see in my video below. I basically did a glute bridge, or pretended like there was a flat bench under me. So dumb! Anyways… like Mike was telling me, I need to learn how to keep my form throughout those tough points and trust that I have a spotter. Overall, I was happy with my final max single of 90 lbs. The down set went well too, the last rep or two I still let my butt come up. Oh well. Lesson learned. On to the next one.
