re: OT Workout crew: What am I doing wrong?

I actually had some of the best gains in my life. Unfortunately, I moved in June and lost my workout partner. I tried Wender 5-3-1 because it has you lifting at a lower percentage of your max. My thought is that it would be safer on bench if I couldn't find a spotter.

If you can't do bench or are afraid of doing too heavy from no spotter, try doing heavy dips and do bench press with a chain (if you have those) or resistance bands. Proper technique and negatives are big helpers with bench press.
