Bench triples

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.

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.
