Notes
One rep PR at 160 for BTN press. Although, I'm like 90% sure I hit 7 reps. During the set I was like wtf this is harder than I expected. Sure enough - loaded the bar wrong. Was supposed to be 150. Oh well, still hit a solid PR. I've really started to like this lift a lot. It is by far the most fun I've ever had with any pressing variation. It just feels good. I usually drop the bar onto my traps at the halfway point on the way down. It requires legit bar control and it looks cool.
With that said, this is my last cycle using it. My shoulder are starting to get a little achy. I don't think that means there is anything wrong with the lift, its just time to work on a different plane or angle. I've been doing these for like 9-12 weeks at this point. I'm glad I put the time it though. Its a technical movement that needs to be grooved to get much out of it. In the future, I'll probably do 3-6 week runs with it.
Going super strict on the bent rows and actually getting a back contraction. 10th rep on the 3rd set was challenging.
