Shoulder Press
7 sets of 3 @70% of projected new 1RM.
Guys, bring your A-game to this workout. It is our last "rehearsal" before Monday's CFT- retest. That said, stay conservative in your guesstimations. I consider this session a success to the extent that you all leave feeling hungry for a blowout on Monday.
please make the time to watch this video of Coach Rip coaching this lift. If any of you know of, or come across other supporting info, drop the knowledge on us.
