That video is nuts. THis whole journal is nuts. The weights are fooking incredible. Honestly, the gravity field of the Earth gets stronger every time you lift as the World starts spinning faster.....

okay guys..all my bench specialists take a look at my log if you do't mind. Am I trying to handle 405 too much in my workouts and that's what's slowing down my progress? 420 isn't getting any easier and it's been a few weeks since I started moving it from time to time. Thoughts and Ideas?

well you're taking 400+ on your DE day. Not a good idea. Get rid of those stinkin boards on your DE day. If you want to do boards, work up to a single on your ME day

also, why no bands on ME day? I know you have them, use em! Go full range with whatever grip you like but use them for a single. That, along with ditching doing 405 every DE day should help

hey you bet bud. Go with mini bands to start. The more I thought about it today, I remembered you've had some shoulder issues, listen to that shoulder when doing the bands, if it hurts, dial it back. But if it doesn't the bands could definatly help you
