Bench was okay, CGPB hurt my shoulders a bit. Experimented with new bench technique with more leg drive.

  1. How close are your hands on close-grip presses? Some people's grip on these is just too close. Anything narrower than arms going straight up is too narrow in my opinion. Also, even if your grip width is ok, it is still worth checking whether a 1- or 2-board make it easier on your shoulders.

  2. My hands are actually just a little closer than pinkies on the rings. Its a little weird because supposedly a closer grip is supposed to be easier on your shoulders (not counting the ridiculous grip 2 inches apart). I'll definitely check out the board presses.
