Notes
Cot damn that was alot of pressing.  I'm either going to have to reduce this press volume or drop chins.  My shoulders were screaming as soon as I hung from the bar.  I've been down this road before.  Heavy press volume + chins = fucked up shoulders.  Now, my chin form is damn near perfect.  Complete dead hang, straight pull up, bar to chest, elbows back, scaps depressed. So I don't think its a form issue.  It just irritates my rotators and shit.

I don't want to suck at chins, but part of me just wants to do high rep cable rows and stuff instead.  Those always feel great.

  2. yea, fuck em for now. No movement is worth pain. I'll come back to them when I have a more balanced routine.
