      Bench was feeling good today. I though I brought it out more to the stomach but watching the video I know I didn’t. Also the program doesn’t have pauses for the main sets but I like pausing while working towards a meet. Should I stop and follow as written?

      Brian, pausing like you are doing her and keeping the % and RPE in the right ball park would be great. I am less concerned with bringing it to your high point and more concerned with the mirco loss of tension right as the bar touches your chest. Try to keep pulling it in and then explode out like you did at 230. That small drop got worse as the weights got heavier.

      I will keep that in mind for next time. I know I do it and I have to stop.
