5/7 – Paused Bench – 3’s

Great benching today – getting into pr territory for paused bench. My shoulders are feeling better than they have in years and I am wondering it is due to the lack of squatting. Thinking maybe I should switch to mid-bar position with a narrow grip to reduce shoulder strain… Anyways, easy benching today, strong upper back and chest work. Those static hold shrugs are feeling awesome.
