Pause Floor Press w/ Slingshot & Dead Stop Pin Presses (Video)

*7 Weeks Out from Lexen Xtreme Fall Classic*

Thursday's Bench Training was pause floor press singles, followed by pin presses; both working in the slingshot. Pec still isn't 100%, but using the slingshot on the pin presses kept my elbows from over-flaring and allowed me to do those for the first time in several weeks. Moving forward!

Notes for Improvement: Continue to be patient and work on tight setup and bar path to protect pec.

Last Week's Training: Dumbbell Floor Press 5x10 w/ 95lb Dumbbells

Next Week's Training: Dumbbell Floor Press w/ 100lb Dumbbells & Pin Presses.

Pause Floor Press: 2x1 w/ 330lbs then 2 singles in Slingshot. Followed by max effort triples on dead stop pin press up to 405lbs. Pec held up okay today, using the slingshot definitely helped keep my elbows from over-flaring. #team #elitefts #powerlifting #bench #benchpress #slingshot #conjugate #training #fitness #ourec #ohiouniversity #gym
