Week 14 - 5/3/1 - Day 53
Cycle #4
I got a bit fancy on the assistance. I still did my BBB, but I've always wanted to include a bit more pressing to improve upon my bench.
Bench: 5x70, 5x85, 3x100 + 3x120, 3x135, 7x155 Rep PR
I actually got to 8 reps, but I pretty much stalled halfway up and spotter had to assist me up to re-rack. Pretty happy I got to 7 reps on my own. One thing I didn't like was that when I was really struggling to get the bar up, I noticed that I was sort of trying to sort of press with my shoulders by shrugging and almost rolling my right side upward towards the bar. I've addressed a number of times before that I think I've developed a minor "imbalance", if you will, of my pressing due to my right arm / lats / upper back working a bit harder. It's fairly noticeable too- my right arm is actually burning while my left side feels unhindered.
