Had a mare today trying to embed this videos from Youtube. Dunno what's going on with it. Had to embed the final one with html rather than just using the blogger facility.

Happy with the kettlebell pressing. I hadn't done these in months so I was a bit wary about picking a weight that was too light or too heavy. 36kg was just right for me. The added movement with the bell also got a lot of pops and cracks out of my shoulders which has loosened them up a bit.

Just a note on the chain lateral raises - have to be careful not to jerk these too much as the chain can whip at the top if you're over-enthusiastic and could end up removing some teeth.

By the time I got to the Inch replica my delts were toast so this, like the log press is for a bit of conditioning too.

Decent workout despite feeling fairly tight and beat up from last night. I was very tight in the thoracic spine coming into the gym and this is one of the reasons I decided to go for the seated shrug movement. They helped pull my scapulae apart a bit and loosened things up. Foam rolling this evening should help too

Thanks for reading
