Abnormal Is the New Normal

28 June 2017

SlingShot bench press 305x4, 320x8, 305x8, 285x8

Once again I was completely crushed by Sunday's raw bench workout, but this time I hit all goal weights. I think the seated behind-the-neck press is the main culprit for the extreme soreness. It's the only thing I've changed in my pressing routine, I'm using slightly heavier weight and pressing off pins (bottom up).
