Good session, got 275 again on flat benching. Added some resp on chinups.  Focused on trying to bend the bar on close-grip bench pressing; turns out that's the key for me activating my triceps because it torched them.  I added in a couple different exercises here, z-presses and head-supported rows.  The head-supported rows force your back to be parallel to the floor when rowing (Like a pendlay row)....but then you can't use any English to get the weight up.   Those two combined are brutal...really toasted my lats.   Z-presses are interesting as well, it forces you to isolate your shoulders to move the weight.  Both movements came from this article on T-Nation.  High-quality stuff, two new exercises from one article.  Here's the videos of the author performing them...
