It took me forever to hit a bench PR of any type. I "attempted", if you can call it that 435 on July 10, which would have been a PR, and strained a pec. On October 3rd I hit that 435 for a 5 lb PR, which was the first bench PR of any type in a couple YEARS. This workout I hit an easy 445 with the shoulder saver for a 10 lb PR.

Kettlebell Tri Extensions (on Dumbbell bench) - we did this variation last week and I really liked them. They were way easier on my elbows than doing them with dumbbells and I felt them a lot more
5x10 @ 35lbs
*SUPERSET WITH*
Single arm band tricep extensions 5x15 each arm
I'm looking forward to seeing how the next couple bench sessions go!
