Bench Testing

4x225 @9
No new PRs today. To be honest, bombing out on squats sapped some motivation from me.
My first set at 265 was terrible, so I decided to drop down and work my way up. Each set got better and my leg drive improved each time. By the end of the workout things were feeling real good, so I'm happy. I definitely bench better when I start with my feet wide and in a comfortable spot, and then slowly cork them in.
I'm going to be changing my programming up a bit, and I'm pretty excited. I'm going to follow the Project Momentum program from 2017 (thanks Aidain). I'm still undecided if I'll follow it to a T or just use it for inspiration. Probably the latter. (link

The two big changes I want to make to my programming which the above template takes care of are doing more high volume sets (8+), and doing singles far more frequently (usually @8).
I'm still planning to hit a max single on DL tomorrow.
