37 Minutes of Stretching

Comments: Ok lifting. Shoulders felt achy at the start. I actually spent quite a bit of time working on a new setup for the viking press after seeing how successful the setup for the car deadlift worked out (I am stubborn and persistent). It actually works even though it does require some rearranging of squat racks and what not so I guess I can add that lift back in to the rotation. I did quite a bit of tinkering with my training. May have some more but probably not. Log pressing was okay, besides the stiff shoulders at the start. I decided to drop log cleans as they are more a brute strength related thing and quite a few other exercises should help that. I'll be rotating between axle cleans/continentals and power shrugs with the axle double overhand style. The shrugs aren't too taxing but I have to take just as much rest as I would for other exercises to let the grip recover enough. Pleased with how these went. Finished up with rear delts (which took a while since people kept stealing my bench) and a good amount of stretching.
