Damn that is strong for shoulders milk. I can tell from your pic your shoulders are your strong point. That is going to help a lot to bring up power and size in your chest the better you get with PL style bench.
I am still a little confused why Wendler calls out for high reps on the last set of the compound exercise? I thought the name of the game was to go heavy. 14 reps is like burning out on the last set. I do that for chest and it is helping bigtime. %'s really seem to be the name of the game with this program otherwise it might not work out to well. I really am stoked to follow this man thanx/ Sorry to post whore your log here I have a feeling im gonna learn a ton and this might really help me. However I don't know how to judge a real 5 rep max if your burning out on the last set? Quess base it off the second to last set.
So really 5/3/1 is really watching and progressing on that second to last set? Sorry dude this program is a little confusing. I have been looking over at IM at different dudes logs and it seems theres a lot of Variations. Being the perfectionest that you are, lol I like reading yours cause Im sure your following his E-book to the tee. Still wondering if the last set burning out in a high rep range will be beneficial for me?
