5-8-14 Sore But Still Benched

Today I was EXTREMELY sore from yesterday’s session. I still felt very weak since coming coming off of a weak of being sick. I lifted nothing really heavy today. I felt really right on the bench. I practiced a new grip, keeping my hands one finger inside away from the knurling and planting my heels in the ground for a greater amount of leg drive.
