Experimenting with Bench setup 440x2

Over the last week I have been working on getting a better arch, and getting up on my traps more. I started incorporating putting my feet up on my bench to really drive up onto my upper back.

I worked raw over the last 7 days up to 350lbs and it really felt good and more powerful.

Then I decided to take my next shirted bench day with the same new "Improved" setup.. And well...

I'll let you watch the video.. But bottom line I'm going back to my old setup with feet out front until after this meet.. This "improved" setup was way too unstable.

I'll continue to practice my setup in the next off-season, but being 6 weeks out now - we don't want to try anything new.
