to your center of gravity. It works your core harder and helps
relieve shoulder stress when using a straight bar on daily basis.

2 iron 45# plates & an AbMat in between them. It
shortens the range a bit. I repped out 20 fairly easy, but
after it was hard recover from them. Next time pace it, so
I can recover better. Ring dips feel good on the shoulder, range of
motion is getting better with them.

First time hitting a heavy overhead squat, getting comfortable
with the overhead position. I missed the log press, it needs to be
hit at least once a week. Kicks the crap out of your core & stability.

power I had. Did 7 muscle ups in a row, its hard to keep the
false grip when fatigued. I need to get stronger on the GHR, I use
to hit these religiously & they paid off. The reverse hypers are gonna
help alot, excited to see how much it will benefit the P-Chain!
