Cha, yea man i forget that rep scheme. Think you mentioned it many times. I was training badly over the last few months so it slipped my mind further.
Yea dont feel lats, feel some shoulder but mainly chest. That anti-shrug cue is also one I forget.
I never really thought of benching as technically demanding so always treated it that way.

You look good either way. Especially when you compare to your back in the day big boy Sensei pics.
Thanks BPA!
When I cut it is consistent progress in terms of dropping fat. It is not super efficient or very strict with a target based on time (or if it is i usually end up not sticking to it) but I dont have any serious difficulties. It is just that in the past when I cut down I stopped prematurely because tall and lanky with no muscle just looked awful.
During my last cut I improved my lifts (smaller deficit with short bursts of maintenance and surplus coupled with better understanding of lifting and practice ldo) but did drop 8-10kg.
I will just take my time to think about it. I have struck a nice recomp balance with high cals, lifting and cardio synergy but it takes a lot of eating to keep energy up.
