What do you guys like to do as your second exercise on upper body days? Heavy triceps stuff like board work with relatively higher reps (5-8), and for how many sets? How much work with the general bench stroke have you guys found to be too much? I am at school and I don’t have boards or a place to do floor presses so I feel like doing a second full range of motion press is a little too much on my shoulders.
Also, I have found recently that my lats get a lot of work in every training session and accumulate a ton of fatigue. I have adjusted my back work on upper body days to reduce the overall stress a bit. Has anyone else had this?[/quote]
my current favorite is narrow grip 2 brd and 3 brd …2 to 4 sets in the same rep range as the ME lift . sometimes I move it to DE day in place of pressing against bands , but then Ill work it for more sets .
my lats dont get over-stressed , but my lower back seems to get hit hard ever since I started focusing on a tighter bench set up . and something in the left pec/collar bone area screams from benching and squatting (kinda wish I had a safety squat bar).[/quote]
I have had the same collar bone problem, I think. Check out Eric Cressey’s shoulder/t-spine mobility thing, it has definitely helped me out.
