  • Looped a band around my neck and secured the other end at the base of my rack to prevent me from sliding. Works for me not going backwards, but makes it difficult to get a high arch.

Overhead Press

I think I need new wrist wraps. I can feel my wrists bending backwards on the rebound at the bottom. Probably go with SBD wrist wraps (read they were very stiff).

  • Missed the last rep on the last set. Still a 3 sets of 4 PR.

Going to start incorporating overhead presses into my training again.

I'm thinking:

Day 1

1. Overhead Press
2. Squat

Day 2

1. Overhead Press
2. Bench

Day 3

1. Bench
2. Squat

Repeat.

We'll see how it goes.
