Would you happen to have Shannon Detman's email addy?

Saturday 10/18:
Went to my bench meet, ended up with a nice PR of 203.7, my opener. Was *really* hoping for 225, but that's how life goes. I went into the meet, and came out with a PR. I'll take that!

Monday 10/20: Strongman Upper/Press Day

Working on that push press, and on those miserable cleans. I would say that tonight was a success.

Clean once, press for reps
Naked bar x 10
65 x 5
95 x 5
115 x 5
115 x 5
95 x 8
95 x 6
95 x 5
95 x 5

I had some nice volume, and a rep PR with 115. Very nice.

Now for some boring auxiliary work:

Cable chest flys, 4 sets of 10-12
Skull crushers, 4 sets of 10 with 10s on each side of that curly bench-monkey bar
Ab thingies, pin set on the lowest weight... 3 sets of 20 for my non-existent abs. LOL

Farmers Holds
Naked tanks (~73-75lbs each) x 15s or so
160/hand for 10s
160/hand for 10s
160/hand for 10s

Conclusion: my grip SUCKS. Definitely going to work this in more. Yikes.

Do you have any pushpress advice for a guy that can SOHP 190 but can only PP 200? (No, I'm not kidding)
