Physical Subculture

For Max bench today we repeated last week, only a little heavier and faster:

Max bench. Nothing fancy, just a bunch of low rep sets leading up to a single max.
Iso hold/fast rep bench/explosive pushups. At about 60% of our bench max, someone holds the bar to our chest for about 10 seconds, then upon being released we crank out 6 reps, followed by as many pushups we can do briniging the whole body off the ground as fast as possible. 2 sets.

Pushup crawls/ninja chops. Forward pushup crawls across the room followed by a handful of heavy ninja chops with the leverage club. 2 sets.

I know, I need more bench pictures.  But here’s a clip of my first 265 bench ever (shut up, I never claimed to be a big bencher):
