During this phase not only are we working on pushing a lot of sarcoplasm into the muscle, but it's also a great way to hone the technique. Each rep needs to be scrutinized and not just "banged" out. Small adjustments are made and the exercises mantra must be repeated:
Shoulderblades in the back pocket
Pull the bar apart
Overgrip the bar
Drive yourself backward into the bench
Push yourself away from the bar, not the bar away from self
Don't be a pussy
