So instead of cleaning the bar before pressing, I'm going to set the bar on the safeties and OHP from there.

Works well.

Left shoulder and left triceps feel a bit messed up (triceps hurt when doing CHIN UPS), so I'm going to squat today.

  • Was kicked out of the power rack I was using. I was in the personal training area and another trainer + client needed to use the rack, so I took the York Power bar and headed over to the power racks on the other side of the gym. Ended up working in with someone else before they moved onto another power rack.
