Bench Press

Solid work out today. I may have come up with a solution to why my bench press is lagging compared to last year at this time. Recently in Bench Press training I have be using a "Touch and Go" style. Today I made sure to take an extended pause on my chest. This really helped me focus on the dynamic pressing power. From now on I will work the pause.
