33 Minutes of Stretching

Comments: Pretty good workout, back and hamstrings were tight from yesterday. I haven't done a heavy 3-board press in some time. Last time I did some light pressing with one, I missed the board I was so used to 4-board height haha. It went well. I swear it feels tough but looks smooth on video. 340lbs was a bit of struggle and decided to call it there. But with how easy 306lbs felt, maybe I should have tried 350lbs. Strict pressing went well. I used the rehband to keep my back warm and used my thick belt for the last set since my back felt touchy on the previous set. It's good to see that my strict press is improving. I'm really digging using belts for the rows as it doesn't kill my spine like it used to and I can focus on just moving the weight forcefully. Rear delts were good and I'll finally be moving up in weight on them.
