To groove or not to groove… that was the problem.

For whatever reason, benching felt “out of groove”. I didn’t feel like everything was working. The bar path felt constantly off, with sometimes the bar going up, sometimes going back towards the uprights. I don’t know. I was playing around with my feet and the leg drive, but even in that nothing really settled. I am not 100% sure what the deal is, but everything was just “out of groove” today.

That all said, things generally went fine. Not a huge progression over last week, but progress nonetheless. All in all, an alright day.
