30’sx20 gonna up this next time i do these, i like them they seem to loosen up the shoulder tissue thats probably built up in there

some extensions, strict cable rows for shoulder health, neck work and abs.

looking at a meet agust 29th, the NEw Jersey sports expo as the other one turned out to be deadlift only and bench only championships so i couldnt do it, dont know the records for it but the fed. is USAPL so ill have to check that out, felt good tonight met some new lifters might start joining the crew

Benbriz, who doesn’t post here anymore, was a 700 pound bencher, and told me that doing these helped tie in the Rotator cuff or something like that. So basically they help strengthen the shoulder.

although i havent commented on your log i have been reading through it, this is such a messed up time of life i dont know why, freshman year mid way throuhg and alot of sophmore year i was consistantly depressed it was terrible, so if you wanna clear anything out of your mind please do, keep it strong of the weight, the bench seems to finally start moving huh? my squats the same way right now, dads finally helping me build a solid box to squat to should be better than the metal stool ha
