I see how you did pause bench max, then T n G for work. How is that working for you?

I need to start working in some paused bench, but I don't want to stop my normal benching altogether.

Do you have a pattern you follow? Paused X%, then work setsX%? Etc. ?

NIce work overall. Very strong. Keep crushing!

For me at least their is a huge difference in my pause and T n G max so I make sure to work a lot with pausing.

There isn't a % based pattern, its when I am able to get 5 singles and 22-25 total reps with TnG I will move up in weight.

I really like working the two every week because it simulates a meet then I get to hammer the lockout pretty hard since I don't have to pause. I have notice since doing both my max is going up at a nice steady pace and my lockout power has greatly improved.

Those are some stout chin-ups. How much do you weigh?

Thanks been working really hard to get them up.

My weight jumped from 184 last week to 189 as of yesterday so probably around 186-187.

So you're pulling around 260...very good.
