Swollertrophy

Worked out like a bro today:

Bench 230lbs 3x5
Power cleans: worked up to 175x3.
Barbell Curls: 70lbs 5x10.

My bench has a problem.  I'm unable to keep my shoulders tucked back (externally rotated) throughout the set, and it always comes out (internally rotated) which saps power.  I really need to work on this.  Maybe work on getting a stronger upper back so it can keep my shoulders tucked?  Chins/pullups maybe?

  1. Read a cue a while back to try to spread the bar in half on the way down and snap the bar in half on the way up (snap the bar in half seems to promote external rotation)

  2. Hmm good point. I've heard of this cue as well. Maybe i should try it.
