      Hi Murph,

      I’m doing that 3 week bench builder and today was 3RM competition grip. I was really excited to get 165 for a triple, and decided to try for the 170 with a spot. I made it, but it was pretty grindy. What looks like it went wrong on the 170? I am posting both sets so you can compare. It’s wild the difference 5 pounds makes on bench.

      https://photos.app.goo.gl/JVaWWwDWgkoJ18je6 this is the 165
      https://photos.app.goo.gl/WHGgwBe2XDd3SwsA8 this is the 170

      Thanks a bunch!

      WOW!
      Look at that ARCH!

      On video 1, you lose the lats/upper back on the last rep and your bar path goes off.

      On video 2, it seems you lost your hips on rep 2-you can see a slight dip, and on rep 3 it was simply fatigue/hips/lats.

      IT looks good for a heavy set. WE induce flaw through fatigue and this is what I see.
      Work on improving there.

      Good work overall.
