Benchamin Franklin 2 - Day 17
Much better workout today. Hit everything as expected. It was odd today that close grip bench felt better than traditional bench presses. The only thing I consider a miss today was the last set of behine the back wrist curls. I just couldn't hit all 25 reps. Forearms were just jello by that point. It started on set 3, but I was able to push thru and get that set done.
Interested to see how tomorrow goes. Its high volume day and kicks off with a 15 set SS of bench and bent rows.

Benchamin Franklin 2 - Day 18
Today was the high volume day in the rotation and it did not disappoint. Hit everything as expected with generally decent form.
The first SS of bench and bent rows took right at 45 min (with 90s rests); 15 sets does NOT go quick. The bent rows (like last time) seemed to get better around set 3. For whatever reason I just don't get my bracing dialed in initially. Once I get set with my hips and back locked, they are much smoother. I increased weight on sets 6 and 11. Bench started great, but I was definitely starting to feel it at the end. The bar was for sure, not moving fast on last 2 sets of doubles at 85%.
The SS of rear lats and standing OHP were ok. Rear lats started to burn by the last set, but got them completed without stopping the rhythm. After all the bench presses, the OHP was HEAVY. I got them all done without decreasing weight. If form lacked anywhere, it was the last set of OHP. I know they could've been cleaner (at the same time, they could've definitely been worse).
Tate presses moved to a higher rep count this go around. I liked this better because I could move to a physically smaller DB to still get the same burn. The higher weight DBs are more bulky and I'm having trouble figuring out arm placement with their increased diameter.
