Out

The tension with quadruple mini's is simply nuts. I freaking loved it. I truly believe that instead of having gravity assist me in my training I need to have it against me; and the only way I can accomplish this is to push or pull against tension instead of have it work for me. I'm dropping all reverse band movements until I'm around a 455 raw bench. Holding all that weight and doing all of those sets really isn't helping as much as I think it should, which is why I feel going against band tension is the way to go from here on out. I'm literally going to go against band tension for every movement I possibly can, and watch as I get much stronger than ever.

One thing I'm fairly proud of is that the last time I used quadrupled mini's I struggled to do 205+quadrupled mini's for 1 rep and here I did it for 11x3. I'm significantly stronger than I was.

Next bench workout will be against tension, as will squat and deadlift training! Bands all the way!
