*3 Weeks Out from Lexen Xtreme Fall Classic*
After a few weeks of speed bench in the slingshot vs chains, I transitioned to doing a regular close grip (sans slingshot) vs chains and doubled mini bands to put the majority of tension at the top of the bench, I kept the weight light and the focus was to move fast and get some "pop" off the chest. Things are moving along..
Notes for Improvement: Keep shoulders retracted, heels down.
