That mat really works, today I tried it, my shoulders stopped sliding on the bench but this time the bench itself was sliding on the floor, need more mats.
I foolishly made the mistake of confusing the two last night, and Dr. Petreeeezo immediately set the record straight. In fact, he pulled a Dr. Petreeeezo's patented Bench-O-Matic out of his pocket, right there on the spot, and it increased my bench by 132% on the very first rep. No warmups necessary!! For just three easy payments of $29.95, it's the best investment in your training you can possibly make!

Back to regular training after a week in Florida for the ACSM National Conference. I was worried that my attendance at such a conference would immediately drain my strength. Fortunately, things went okay today.
Bench - 45x20, 135x5, 185x3, 225x3, 275x2, 295x1, 315x1, 330x4, 300x6, 4
Chins - BWx11, 10, 9
Good training day. I was really happy with how bench felt. I started working on my pauses during my warm-ups. Over the next several weeks I will begin hitting a heavy paused single or two before my top set for reps.
Here is a video of 330. Watch with the volume on if you want to hear Rori at her most psychotic:

LOL Rori. Awesome. We have to train together soon guys!
What, they don't have gyms in Florida?
Watched at work with no volume....but I could totally see Rori's look after you completed the last rep. It was like, "I am pleased by your performance." Priceless!
LOL it was more like, "You get this rep or I'll punch you in the ovaries!"
Good stuff : )
