Bench

Had a good bench session today.
Bench (brief pause)
205 x 1
220 x 1 -PR
225 x 1 -PR

Close grip bench (brief pause)
165 x 5
175 x 5, 5, 5

Floor press
185 x 3, 3
195 x 3, 3
SS'd w/ close grip chinups
BW x 18, 12, 12, 12

Hammer curls
50s x 10, 8, 8

Finished with 4 sets of standing abs and some stretching.

I feel like higher volume with compound movements for tricep work like close grips, floor presses, and close grip inclines has helped my tricep strength. I used to think skull crushers were the way to go for tricep strength but my tricep strength and size has increased in this past cycle while doing zero isolation work.
