Wed, Aug 6th - 14 reps, close grip, palms facing in

Palm facing grip - not bad; feel like it is easier than wide grip palm facing out...easier on my rotator cuffs also. I guess I like the outward facing grip more since it is a little more challenging. Nice to mix it up for variety though.

Tuesday, Aug 5th - 10 reps (after upper body workout) - changed grips to palms facing in; close grip.

Monday, Aug 4th - Got 13 (after afternoon leg workout); nearly got 14 rep, but couldn't get my chin over the bar.
