185-205 -185 lb press work, 24 kg swings, floor pushups.

 Wanted to stress test my new visual ( incline press) so had to put some weight  on the bar. As usual DOMS hit hard right about when the workout started so going heavy again will cost me tomorrow I think.

Triceps and coracobracialis already sore from the new technique details. strange but interesting.triceps have not been working as hard in the old technique as I thought they were and would explain why I've felt they've been getting weaker and not stronger from all the press work.

So started off with Mondays incline bench technique but with high bar

135, 155, 175, then 185 x 2 x 2

then 195 x 1

then 205 x 1

then I decided to go low bar again that I did pretty last year at this time that resulted in a 225 lb two plate press! worked great. Forced my hips in front of the bar

it was a  slow rep so I decided to go back to a high rack to test it and immediately put me back too far. 
so , low bar it was
two sets of that, then 195 lb downset then 185 x 2 x 4 sets


seems like the best balance between all the styles but i've said that before eh?

24 kg swings 5 x 8/8

floor pushups
2 x 40 pecs delts and tri's tired

190 x 1 x 12, 210/225 static holds, 24 kg goblet squats, floor pushups 30, 20

 This went VERY well almost all reps identical. Realized I get better drive AND minimize shoulder stress if I unrack it with more weight on ...
