I tried a thumbs around for the whole workout for the first time. No irritation in the elbow and it was pretty comfortable. Thank you Lord! On the third rep I didn't brace as hard as the others so my back angle decreased as I came out of the hole. Felt good to not have to be distracted by the bar position and grip and just grind. I think I got rid of most of the spinal flexion which I am also thankful for.
Bench Press:
1/2/2018 Bench Press, 115 lbs, Set 5 - YouTube
Today was volume day for my modified program, so 5 sets were called for. The last set shown felt slightly off compared to the other four. It didn't feel like I was as tight but nothing shows in the video and it wasn't to much of a distraction. I was able to incorporate leg drive well, which really helped me stay nice and tight.

I am fairly pleased with this set. Not really any rounding that sticks out. Need to work on a more smooth descent that does not hit the knees. Progress is good!
