Just realize that my chest needs to worked on more, especially the mid section. I got so used to doing wide grip benches, I never really did close grip. Gonna start today with the mid grip and cut down on the wide grip.

Close grip bench will not hit your inner chest. It wont hit your chest at all actually. Just keep benching how you bench. As you get stronger the mass will fill in your weak points.

I know it hits the triceps, but when ever I do close grip I feel it in the middle of my chest more then anything

becareful not to put too much pressure on your knees

I squatted 315 last week and my legs are :noah:

I tore the whole thing down and started from scratch so the weight isn't very high. I wanted to get the form correct and just that change has engaged enough muscle work. I started adding weight last week :manny:

Last summer playing ball I stepped on left knee wrong and it's been weak/feeling weird when active

I still squat fine but knee gives out sometimes, not even sure if I should get it checked out :yeshrug:

Good move. Light ATG squats >> heavy knee bends
