Speed felt better with 165 vs 175. I will probably also use a loose shirt on this day too..torn rotator is getting sore.

Looks good- strong with those big chains. 10 sets of DE bench....I also do 10 sets now too I like it better than 8 sets. What kind of grips do you use for those 10 sets like 3-3-4

Usually I take a little wider grip, pinky on the ring. I try not to use close grips, because they reak havoc on my rotator cuff. I also dont push as fast as I can because of that too. I just ordered a loose training shirt for both bench days. Hopefully that will help me step up my training, and work around my injury.

musc2002pa, how much do you bench, if you don't mind me asking? The reason I want to know is I want to get an idea of what kind on % of max you're moving and what the relative speed is compared to that so I can do a comparison of my own speed.

Lookin' good!

Arnie, my best bench is 440 with a single denim back in July. I was good for 450 that day. The 175 is right around 40%, with 165 being just slightly less. I will say I am not the best speed bencher. I use to 'catch' the bar a few inches from touching my chest, but that reaked havoc on my shoulder. I do a touch and go now. I dont put a lot of emphasis on reversal, but I concentrate more on the explosive push.

I am going to be using a loose poly shirt on this day and ME day for awhile to help with my rotator problems.

I agree with you 100% on the reversal. Some time ago I started doing a slow eccentric, a short pause on the chest and then a very explosive concentric and since then my shoulders have stopped complaining and even better, my bicep tendonitis is gone.
