ME Lockout

Bizarre workout today. I felt like going heavy and maybe doing shirt work, but couldn't find a shirt to use.

Bench:
315 x 1 (PR)

Nathans gave me a press call so it was legit. Felt reasonable.

3-board:
365 x 1
405 x 1
425 x fail
415 x 1 (easy?)

I think I misgrooved the 425, but this was taking forever so I stopped.

Chain work:
135 + 140 chains x 5
185 + 140 chains x 5
225 + 140 chains x 5
275 + 140 chains x 5 (off manpon)
315 + 140 chains x 5 (off manpon)

455 at the top? wtf?

Standing Press:
135 x 8
155 x 5
175 x 3
155 x 8, 2 sets

These are starting to bother my right shoulder. BILL STARR LIESS.

Yeah Dave. It's the Standing Press, not the 3-4 flat bench exercises you do before it that are hurting your shoulder.

It didn't hurt when benching <3

You know what, Dave, you're absolutely right. You should continue to just keep benching. Never do Standing Presses anymore, they're useless. And throw in some extra rack presses and skullcrushers. Do this every week. The results will speak for themselves.

@Phils: You give the good advices. Plz offer some suggestions for how I can increase my Strict Curl MAXXX.

Joe DeFranco, when he was at Elitefts, was SUPER anti-overhead pressing. Just saying.
