Failed ME Bench

Extreme Technical Difficulties today

Bench:
shirt on
315 x 2
345 x 1
370 x .99, .99

The shirt felt abnormally loose. 315 touched easily and no amount of cranking the neck seemed to make it better. Both attempts at 370 went up in stages with a slight dip (red light). I was about to go for the third attempt at 370 when I realized I had torqued the sleeves in the wrong direction. Matt helped me fix this, which made a huge difference.

315 x no touch (good)
345 x 1 (into the pins)
370 x 1
405 x fail

Much much easier. The shirt was never quite seated right, and by the 405 I was gassed. I made a huge mistake in not checking my own equipment today, which was unfortunate.

Bench off pins:
275 x 5
295 x 5
295 x 3
275 x 5

Finished with cable flyes
