Got yelled at twice in two days for using chalk. This time the guy was much cooler about it though. We need to petition Elisa for getting a more common sense chalk policy. There are open bags of chalk in the climbing facility and a giant chalk canister in the gymnastics area. Why would they disallow it 30' from those places?
Bench:
Sets of 3 with full commands. For these we grabbed a 4" ball and put it under the lower back to work on getting into place for the arch. It actually felt about where my natural arch was, which is encouraging.
275 x 3, third one was a grinder so I dropped down
265 x 3
265 x 3
265 x 3
265 x 2 + 1 fail.
Close-grip bench w/ bands:
95 + blues x 5
135 + blues x 5
155 + blues x 4
155 + blues x 3 + fail
145 + blues x 7 (why did 10lbs make such a difference??)
Incline bench:
135 x 10
185 x 8
225 x 4
185 x 8
Dips
Used the dip machine to better isolate the triceps.
Full stack x failure, 4 sets
By far the most funny part of the night was Brent jumping on the bicep machine next to this and chanting "bicep bicep bicep" while curling it with 30 lbs. I think Thursday will be an all bicep day. That way we can be full rounded lifters in the squat, bench, deadlift and strict curl.

Have you ever used dry hands? I think for benching and deadlifting, it's better than chalk. There's no way your gym will know you are using it. Go to liftinglarge.com to order. Good stuff for powerlifters.
