It's called 'pimpin' son!
j/k. I didn't mean for it to imply that that particular set was part of a deload. Meant "here's a bench vid from this morning and [i]then[/i] I plan on deloading this week" since I did that set early on Sunday morning.

I know nothing about swiss bars other than how they look. What made the chest workout harder? Is it the different hand position?

I wish I knew exactly, brah. It's like the muscle activation is totally different and the ROM. It's crazy cuz I can rip off a set of 275x12 with a normal bar and not be gassed. 203x12 with the Swiss and I'm about at atrophy. The pump was also insane.

I bet those rows feel good with the Swiss bar. Love that neutral grip. I would use it for everything you can for a while little different hand position will hit the muscles differently and likely let the normal bb strain areas on the hours recooperate.

(Note: so it turns out my old-school collars I've been using with my new Swiss bar actually weigh 1.2 pounds each, meaning the bar weighs 35 pounds instead of 33, which is nice because it makes for easier math when calculating lifts).

That bar is da sh!t, brah. When you take all your normal barbell lifts (bench, incline bench, OHP, etc.) and have to reduce them 50+ pounds for your sets--and you still get gassed.... = mind-blown. Of course a punk like yourself could never have the nuts to use a swiss bar. :D j/k
I plan on putting some swiss bar vids up here and in the original swiss bar thread eventually. This is my 4th week using the thing now--so I'm getting pretty well acclimated to it. Love it. Tomorrow is an all Swiss day.
