Comments: Wasn't feeling it today, might have been due to the heat or allergies. The point is I wasn't feeling so well all day. 240lbs was bad from the get go so instead of going for 255lbs like I had planned, I went to 250lbs which got off the pins and that was all she wrote. The down set with 215lbs was the only set that felt good. I have also noticed that it seems hard for me to warm-up on strict presses as the first lift, whether it's standing, incline or half range partial. These kinds of lifts seem to work better as the triple/rep sets than singles. This might mean I need more tweaking for this part of my workout, possibly changing out this exercise. 6-Board presses were tough, 255lbs felt like a million pounds and 295lbs felt like a million and forty pounds. Back lifts went well.
