–First time benching heavy for a little while, which is by design. Not sure I am going to do this very often as I train for the Snatch Test and work on KB Press as well.
–The air is heavy. 1 psi is a lot harder to press, stabilize, or both than 1 pound. You can’t add the 2 numbers and think it’s just the same as that much on the bar. That’s my ego talking because I know I can press way more than 315 even after some volume, but the air is a big push. I’ve been critical of the air more from it’s position as necessary. It’s just different. A different heavy or hard, not better. It’s a different reference of a “number.”
–The Keiser adjustable bench is very flattering for my bench. Even though it is padded, I can get it very tight in the arch.
–I gave up on the 215 too. Had no lats half-way down.
