4 days off and lots of food and 12 hours of sleep a night was wonderful. I did a crap load of pressing volume today. Floor press is going to be a key lift for me I really think, my particular biomechanics put the bar at a 1 board height at the bottom which is hair below my normal sticking point. I've noticed something as of late, which is that I seem to lose stability in the last inch or two of the bench press. I also have a disproportinately hard time covering the last few inches of lockout on chin ups. My theory is that I am very weak in scapular retraction in the last bit of ROM close to the body. I think this is partly because of the somewhat natural "oomph" that people give pulling exercises which generally means the load kind of coasts from the force created at the intiation of the movement. So, my plan is to try and use some rows with an isometric hold against the chest. The isomiometric cable rows were a fucking bitch, and my middle traps and rhomboids feel like they are still cramping up. I think I am on the right track.
