Shoulder stretching, Foam roller Warm up sets Working sets: 135 x 5 150 x 3 170 x 2 Assistance work: none. I’d say 170 x 3, but am not counting the third due to the extremely poor form on one. That said, I have beat my previous PR. Not by a lot, but this is still good progress. Posted via web from Kris Lift | Comment »

At this point out, by the time I hit the 3rd week I’ll be pushing new 1RMs. Excellent. Posted via...
