15/01/11 - Bench Day - Saturday

Dead program has left me really wiped today, but still made an improvement on the bench from last Wednesday.
Decided to try a wider grip on my bench today, felt okay until I went for 120kg and the damn thing felt like a lead weight, then failed with 135kg, dropped down to 132.5kg and with a medium grip (pinkies on power-rings) and it flew up...ish...well I made the lift with a few kilos left.
