2/24 – Push Press 5-3-1

My left rear delt was real stiff and sore at the start of today’s session, but I decided to at least work through my first work set to see if it would loosen up and allow at least a single go at the target single for this cycle. First work set at 195 wasn’t bad, second work set only hurt if I lowered the bar really slow on the negatives, so I decided to just put the target weight on (250) and do a quick single. Single turned into a pretty easy set of 6, big PR. Could have hit more but didn’t want to push the shoulder too much. Did one more set of 5 with 225 and called it good. Dips didn’t feel right so I stopped after a couple sets and did light cgb and pushdowns and extensions. Did some bodyweight pullups and finished with some band shoulder rehab work.
