Do your triceps get sore more from reverse grip pressing?

I don't really notice any more than regular benching.

Nice sumo pull!

I would have the fingernail problem, but I keep mine very short.

Mine are too. They go right to my finger ends though. I can't even let them grow out a millimeter. Talc I guess.

Thanks man. Biggest thing is those shorter rests for me. I'm usually 3-5 minutes except for accessory stuff. My chest is still scratchy haha!

Well I guess I did some good finger dragging. Got about a 6" x 2" bruise up my thigh from my finger tips. Guess my grip is okay at least haha!
