4/2 – Bench – 5/3/1

Good benching today (360×2 was pretty easy, and a PR), but slingshot bench was really poor. Shrugs were easy, and finished off with light tricep work. Next cycle I am going to focus on paused bench press work.

In other news, I think my right knee has a slight meniscus tear. The symptoms I’ve had the last couple weeks seem to point to that, at least. Despite squats having been going well I may drop wide-stance squats for a while to try to get it to heal up. It is a weird injury in that it does not hurt, but my knee cap will occasionally buckle, catch, or pop out of joint for second. Would not be the greatest thing to have happen while doing a big squat.
