Bench 3RM

#19914

So this morning I had gone for 125+1 chain, close grip to a one board (I couldn’t bother anyone else to help me so I just stopped an inch above my chest).

I got kinda a rep and a half, but I’m wondering if there was a technique failure here that stopped me from making it 3 reps. I backed off after this and hit a 3RM for 100 + 1 chain close grip, kinda wish I’d gone another set a little heavier though.

Video of both attempts included.

The 100 looked good.
On the set you failed:
OF course there was a technique breakdown, there were a few.
The bigger question is what caused it?

It’s an easy answer.
The weight was just too heavy today.
Don’t read into it. Sometimes we pick the wrong weight to attempt.

And the next time you are doing board presses with no board, use the Elite FTS shoulder saver pads.
We have a red and a black one.
They clip to the bar and replace the board.

Bench is looking better!
