Max effort bench. Today I decided to switch things up and do some concentric presses. All these were done with a medium grip (pinky on the rings). I worked up to a single, then dropped the weight by 50 pds and did some reps. Assistance work included some pecs, triceps, and rear delts.

Yesterday was the end of a 4 week monohydrate creatine cycle. I will now run a short Tribulus cycle for 10 days or so, then wait a few weeks, and start creatine again.
