Actual bench was very slippery, and I couldn't set up properly. A wipe down and lots of chalk half way through the drop sets fixed it

:D

I do them for a couple of reasons. The official rationale in programming is that they help keep my tendons healthy, but there is a little bit of vanity thrown in too. Additionally, I think there is something to be said for their influence on shoulder stability; swinging your arm around while keeping your shoulder in a good position stimulates all kinds of shoulder bits. We're not talking big hypertrophy here, but if there is a weak point it will burn.


So, I missed my full mock meet on Friday because I was ill. No big deal, although I was pretty sure there were some peebs lurking. Rather than progress through my programming structure, I'm just going to repeat the last block with a couple of tweaks.

Ah cheers bud :)

I may have to incorporate curls into my routine. For shoulder stability...
