I had planned to do incline BB BP but guys left as I worked into a few sets, so I moved to the DB instead which was fine because I couldnt get the groove on the incline today. Worked up to a 5RM then added 2 more sets for volume.

Heres something interesting, I went to do my board press, and this time they were of regular width (pinky on rings) and they felt ALOT harder than when I do them with a close grip. Maybe its because my delts were tired and my tris are strong, not sure but if anyone has opinion chime in. I do like the decline db press with a PG, really hits the chest and tris and took off the shoulder stress.

Tbar rows are something I dont usually do but will from now on, they have a good feel. I had to play with the weight and I wonder how some of you do these. I bend my legs and sit back so my legs are flexed and slightly bent and I pull from there (good leverage), is that how it should be done or should I stand more upright and over the t-bar thing?

I cut the volume on the last 2 exercises to do some cuff work, just felt like doing it today. Upgraded the curls and the holds were fine, you just have to make sure that you hold them correctly or it will be a painful eternity when you hold them.
