Feels weird

I'm going to try benching in the annex again and doing everything in the evenings. I guess we're back to one workout per day. It's also time to put the prehab back in, since the limiter here may just be shoulder stability.

Looking back over my logs, the common element in my progress here seems to be the floor press. I want to do some higher-intensity work on the bench itself, so I'll throw floor press where Push Press was and switch bench down to triples. I'll also try throwing in strict press and close grip for 5x5s after those movements...I'm really just throwing shit at the wall to see what sticks at this point. After the meet I'll rotate bench out for floor press and go back to the push/strict pressing cycle on the other day.
