I’m still not getting the speed I want on the Benches. But I’ll be dropping reps a bit next time, so I will increase the weights a bit.

I did the Speed Chain Deadlifts differently this time. For the deficit, rather than using my boards, I just left the 35s on, so the deficit is probably less than the 3” I used last time.
