Great session. Gave the ATG DE Band squats hell today, topping out with 305 bar weight + 420 in band tension. Did not go beyond that as the bar was starting to slow down more than I would like, defeating the purpose of the movement. Compared to how I felt last week, though, I was much faster and explosive today. Bench started out feeling terrible, but ended up feeling pretty strong. Nice long pauses on the last few 310 doubles, and the 320 and 330 singles. 315×3 was a touch and go set and it went real smooth. Pauses on the 275 and 235 sets were ridiculously long (10-15s per rep). Neutral grip DB presses felt great – really enjoying that movement.
