I hate wrist wraps but the first reverse grip set was hurting my left wrist so I gave them a try. Still didn't like it but it got the job done.

Edit: also I noticed I have a terrible amount of target fixation on bench. Like I noticed I was looking at the pull up bar on the front of my rack for the single and first set and the next set when I purposefully looked at the mark on the back cross member I use to center a pulley the sets got easier.

Maybe I should make a ceiling mark right above my face.

Have I been for months now just making things harder by subconsciously screwing my bar path?

I didn't mention it yesterday but I actually used a metronome on the last set of 3ct yesterday and lets just say next time I do 3ct bench it's going to be a bit lighter. 2ct in four weeks so looking forward to that.
