Forearms felt like they were about to explode here. Completely engorged with blood. Pecs were almost cramping on the db flat benching. Incline bench 3rd set same thin. I seem to fail part way up on the incline bench reps. I think I'm going to switch to close-grip incline benching, and keep my elbows tucked (I always have them flared out on all benching movements). I haven't noted this in a while; but for anyone reading, when I bench I take a very wide grip. My pointer finger is actually on the band in the knurling on the bar. Plus I always have my elbows out. It's a holdover from when my chest was under-developed and I was trying to target it as much as possible. I've toyed around recently with the idea of bringing my grip in some and tucking my elbows more. I'm not sure if I'd press much more weight that way, I need to research more. As for incline benching, I'm clearly failing at the tricep level, so I'm going to move the grip in to target them some more and see what happens.
