Yep, cramped up my left hamstring on the way back up. It sucked a bit and I decided to stop there rather than risk injuring it further. Rolled it out and overall feel better. Will let it rest this weekend and see where I stand on Monday.

Though I’ll still be the first to say; my bench sucks – I was happy to get a new PR today. Progress.  Also, first time using the Sling Shot I just bought. That thing is actually fun, and you can get a great amount of reps in. Hoping this will help my bench long-term.
