This was week 3 in my swiss bar incline bench progression. I've been using 5/3/1 for set/rep scheme with a low training max so the reps stay a little higher. I'm using this as a supplemental movement on my secondary bench day, which will become my dynamic effort day again next week as I begin preparing for my meet in October.
A. Neutral Grip Lat Pulldown (with hold at bottom) - 5x10
