Wrap them thumbs around that bar to reduce the chance of slippage.

I use a thumbless bench grip. Take about 50 pounds off my max if I wrap my thumbs. Buttttt after this next meet I'm gonna make the switch to wrapping the thumb. Not because I'm scared of the bar slipping but because it allows me to squeeze the bar even harder which is a plus

I had to try lol... Now I know I suck and will never lift againDude stop trying to hit the 315. Lol
Train hard with submaximal weights for the next month or so before u even consider trying it again.
How long does it take you to set up all of your cameras per lift?
Hey, I've watched a number of the videos you posted here and was wondering if you know that the more you arch your back, which you do a fair bit of in your vids, the more stress and pressure is placed on your spine?
Not trying to be a dick here, just trying to figure out why a guy with back problems would be using this technique.
You can only flex your muscle so much. Those sideways presses aren't really doing much more than a fly or of u use that machine normally. It may feel like the contraction is better but like I said u can only contract the muscle so much.
maybe something to try here. i am a big believer in at least 48 hours between large muscle groups. working your legs and the straight to chest and the back is very taxing on your body, both muscles and nervous system. i change my split up often but right now it is back, shoulders, chest, arms, legs. that way you you are training your large muscle groups every other day. this helped me a ton when i was trying to increase my deadlift.
