Notes
Crisp session.  Matt said my cleans looked "athletic."  I'm not sure if he was joking, but if he wasn't, thats a good sign. Again, I'm just doing these to keep a groove.  I cannot really go up in weight without bumpers.  Matt also said the deadlifts look really good. He knows everything I'm doing so knows what it should look like.

I kinda feel like I need more volume for the BTN presses, but I'll just go with it as prescribed by the Strong-15 (for bench).  One minor change - I'm keeping the AMAP at 60% until I can bang out solid 20 reps at 115.

The Robertson Pullover remains my new favorite exercise.  I love it for so many reasons.  It gives a great lat stretch, improves shoulder mobility, hits the abs hard, and allows me to practice breathing in an overhead position.  The coolest part however, is the bench gives you feedback on spine neutrality when you are in the most stretched overhead position possible. I just think its a great movement.
