Strong work on those deload sessions. Even if they weren’t deload session I would have been impressed.

Thanks, ideally you want to start a deload week feeling like an old man and finish the week feeling like a little kid who just got let out of time out.

Interesting way of describing deload week.

I guess I’m doing something wrong if I feel like an old man all the time. Ha ha…

I found doing a hang from a pull up bar during warm up makes getting under the bar a lot easier

Bench (fail)
255 x 2 x 2
I knew the 5x5 progression was going to stall out at sometime, but 2 reps on the first set, damn. I didn’t know what to do so I got out the slingshot. I have not used it in years. Not that I don’t like it, I let someone borrow it a few years ago and recently got it back.

Advantages of having smaller arms
- Putting on the slingshot
- Reaching under the entertainment console
That’s all I have

HS incline press
140(70 a side) x 5 x 5
My 5ft 2 & 7/16 fiancé showed up during these sets and started using the HS shoulder press right next to me using the same weight. After a couple of sets she added more weight. It’s ok , I have a nice personality.

Well in your defense you did just do a bunch of benching. 
Solid workout.

I will try that hang from pullup bar before conventional squatting. Maybe I can get back to that sort of squatting.

Do you feel the slingshot carries over to your raw bench bam?
