Close Grip + KB Lunge

3 Sets For Quality: 10-12 Close Grip Bench Press @ Light-moderate weight 50ft Double KB Front Rack Lunge (choose your weight) Rest 2:00 b/t sets For this portion, this is going to be a "For Quality" type of circuit. Don't stress about going faster, focus on quality of movement. The close grip bench press should be with your grip inside the distance of your shoulders. This will be more of a tricep pump than a chest pump, so start a little lighter than needed if you're unsure of this movement. For the Double KB Front Rack Lunges, go as heavy as you can for the 50ft. Don't let the KB's rest on your shoulders, but rather support them in front of your body like a true front rack position. Log the weight used for the close grip bench press. Put the weight used for the KB's in the notes.
