8/10. Pressing was OK. Was a bit tired and too long into my fast, so energy was low. Experimented further with the slightly wider grip for strict pressing, but the old narrower grip I’ve been using is definitely easier on my shoulders, so I will continue with that going forward. I really liked the awkward presses from a stop off pins. Easy weight today, but I can see these definitely helping my top end strength.
