I'm getting the hang of bands right now. I'm still working on getting my shoulders in the right position so I can use all of my muscles in the final push. Apparently, my shoulders are not pulled into the bench enough. I should also read some beginner's articles on benching.
The close-grip bench reps are accurately recorded. My spotter touched the bar a bit on the last rep of the first set, where I was struggling a bit, so I didn't count it.
Also, I guess I shouldn't be surprised at this, but the new shoes help with military presses as well. I suppose any movement that is done standing will benefit from a more stable base.
