32 Minutes of Stretching

Comments: Meant to do this workout yesterday but I was way too beat from helping run the contest. Also got home at 9 so there wouldn't have been a chance of getting in the workout by that time haha. Workout felt easier than last time with the regular benching. Cut the volume a little working up to the work sets. Really surprised how even with the 15lbs increases each week that the wide grip stuff still feels about the same difficulty. 10lbs was surprisingly a big jump for the dead presses. Actually some straining on some of the singles. Finished up with dips. Dropped a set and increased the reps. Getting challenging now. Lots of stretching for this one.
