Bench: Started using a Slingshot level 2 that my training partner bought. This was a test run for the Slingshot coupled with being out all week due to the wife having nursing school finals and me needing to be home for little man. My current 1RM on bench is a meager 317 and I was able to work up to 315 for two sets of doubles and worked at 275 for a few sets of 5. My goal this workout was to learn the Slingshot and how it worked in regards to my benching. It is a very useful tool to have in the arsenal, and it helped keep everything tight for my training partner who suffers from chronic shoulder and pectoral pains. I plan on continuing to work with the Slingshot and figuring out how to use it in my programming, needless to say this week was a waste for training, but family comes before training so its a minor sacrifice to make.
