Leg drive with one leg...lol

[b fold the truth]

Did some DE upper today...lol. It was strange doing bench press after getting used to using my leg drive a lot...and only being able to use one leg for leg drive.

I did my speed bench with 225 for 9 sets of 3...felt super easy. I put some athletic tape on my wrists and a piece across my left bicep tendon...really seemed to help or maybe it was in my mind. Maybe it was because I didn't squat yesterday too...

I also put some athletic tape across the two major spots around my knee that is hurting. Once I got warmed up I didn't have any pain but did notice some very light swelling after I was done. I measured and there was less than 1/4" of swelling (difference between the two knee measurements).

Sorry...went off on a tangent...

Bench 405 x 2, you can see that I could only drive with my leg with my left leg

90 pound Chin (plus 285-290 bodyweight) lol...didn't get far...lol

Not sure why everyone says that...it is a lot faster that it used to be for sure. It is 405 man...am I expected to take it down super fast?

I really can't see how people can take down a heavy weight and keep it under controll if it is super fast...

ok i guess that makes sense. im just always thinking speed speed speed. so on max or really heavy attempts, lower it slower then shove fast???

Well...put 155-185 on the bar and do it as fast as you can... Rest a few minutes then put 275-300 on there and see if your negative speed is the same. I've always been stronger at a slightly slower speed than my speed sets. As the weight feels lighters I can take it faster...
