This workout was very bleh. Monday’s shoulder work and yesterday’s kettlebell fun has my shoulders and tris just a bit too tired for maximal effort lifting. After doing 305 on floor press I knew today’s 340 single target wasn’t going to happen. That’s OK, I did 340 last cycle so I know I have the strength for it. I did a triple with 315 instead. Moved onto cg bench against bands but my shoulder was feeling off (same ol right delt thing) so I just did straight weight cg bench for the first time in a long time. Doing straight weight after doing bands for so long really feels strange - like the bar just wants to float up out of your hands. Didn’t go heavy, but I used a narrower grip than I have in the past on cg bench and it still felt easy and strong. Tried a set of incline bench but that aggravated my shoulder too much so I stopped after a single with 185. Some light flat db presses were OK. Rows were cake.
Gym is closed Monday so I get an extra rest day for squats. Still trying to figure out the timing for starting the kettlebell stuff, and I am also contemplating doing NO pressing for a month or so to let my shoulder heal up 100%. I am also contemplating dropping flat barbell bench pressing/floor pressing completely - just keep cg bench, decline bench, and work with dumbells exclusively. We’ll see…
