Wring angle of press = pure fcuking agony! Good session tonight; I was gonna have a go with 125kg but decided against it as shoulder was starting to thump! Will give it a few more weeks & will attempt a new strict press PB

Don't pretend you don't know what EZ-bar skull crushers are you bodybuilder you lol Well some folk call them french presses (unsure why as the bar never runs away like the french do)! I just dont do them a lot but fancied doing them for a change; certainly make the triceps tight!
