YEAH... it was a PR, that bench, but it was still shit. I wanted reps.

Tonight's training was shit because I started with viper-pressing Fatboy; a press variation that I've never performed before - and have never had the strength to do with Fatboy even if I'd wanted to. The first rep was good. The second was shithouse, and the third not much better. I hadn't anticipated the additional strain the vipers would place on my shoulders. It pretty much screwed the rest of the session for me.

I also started getting acquainted with push-pressing again tonight, and used up the rest of my strength working on technique. My right shoulder was complaining, and I thought it best to can the rest of the session before I injured myself.

Deadlift tomorrow night. My press might still be weak, but my pull is pretty strong. Let's see how many reps of 265 kilos I can get.
