27 Minutes of Stretching

Comments: I woke up with cramps in my stomach so I wasn't really expecting much today. The discomfort went away eventually and I had a good session. For incline, I widened my grip out about 4" each hand to be similar to my overhead grip. The session didn't call for narrow grip like last week so I thought this would be better. I felt more control at the bottom but the lockout is still tough. My triceps were sore before even getting to 255lbs. 265lbs was sloppy but I'll take it. I picked something that I thought would be doable for seated pressing for 10-12 reps. Haven't done dumbbells in while, let alone for higher reps. Tried my best to keep pressure off my lower back and got my goal the first two sets. Shoulders fatigue fast and only got 8 and 7 the following sets. Increased the weight on the rear delts and that was good too.
