These are different. These are all pecks and triceps for me. Stopping at the chest and not letting the bar sink into the foam keeps the lats out of the lift entirely. Very cool.

Done

Solid workout tonight. Still moderate weight and reps on the bench but I pushed it on the assistance work. I really like those foam presses with the foam roller wrapped around the bar. I think it will be a good fit for my mid stroke sticking point. Since I did 6 moderate trips Tuesday on the prowler I decided to do 3 all out sprints tonight. I plan to keep hitting the prowler twice a week this meet cycle. I’m back loading again and weighed 257.5 this morning. 15.5 lbs to go and a long 16 weeks to do it.
