Speed bench day

Today was all about speed.  I'm loving lifting with chains.  It adds a new dynamic that is hard to explain if you've never tried it.

Most of the workout was flat bench where I worked up to 10 sets of 2 on 295 (including chain weight).  It felt really good and I didn't have any pain, anywhere.

I rounded out the lift with some auxiliary triceps and pressing work, as shown below:
