    It probably wasn't a good idea to do this right after 90 Deads but oh well, felt good so I went for it.

    I haven't done shoulder press 3's in a really long time... couple of years maybe. The only problem here is that I thought it said 6 sets not 7 so that's all I did and now I have to go to work so oh well...

    115x3, 125x3, 135x3, 145x3, 150x2, 150x3

    I wish I was stronger at this lift. Oh wait, I know just what to do about that! I think tomorrow will be that wacky pullups/DL/BJ one.

    I like it when I do a set that is better than the previous when the previous had a failed rep. So a little victory on that last one.

    Ok... I added this WOD to my lift today so it worked out well. I even read the damn thing so I wouldn't look like an ass.
    135x3 145x3 155x3 160x3 165x3 165x3 165x2.. could not make the last rep. I felt pretty good about the lift and knew I was pushing my shoulder/back limits @165.

    Damn Wy you have strong ass shoulders... that's why you crush pushups so good too. Are you not dipping in the slightest when you do this, pure strict rigid body pressing? If so, that is a lot of wait for an old guy that weighs about... what, 180? I have vagicitis now.

    It's been a good lift of mine for a while but I'd hold back on the praise. You school me in 90% of everything else so it ain't that big a deal. As far as the lift, I use a belt for my lower back but it's a fairly strict press. My "PR" is doing a seated press w/100# DB's, which probably led to my right shoulder issues at times. Anyway...

    And I'm weighing about 188, which for me is a little heavy. Still working on getting rid of the "holiday" weight.

    You are a strong dude. and I do NOT school you 90% of the time. No way.

    Went back and tried this again after Gwen. I couldn't quite get to 155x3, got to 150x3 and 155x2, damn near got the 3.
