I went with the OH press this week instead of benching because my pec had been feeling tight, and Ive had a history with pec strains. I've never been a strong overhead presser, something I'm working on bringing up.

Overhead Press (25 band pull aparts between each set) 95x10 x2 sets 135x10 x2 sets 155x5 x2 sets 185 x 3 x8 sets - I was going to do 10 sets but I have some type of nerve impingement in my left trap and it was giving me a sharp shooting pain on a couple of reps, so I stopped here.

Accessory work:

Reverse Fly. 5x10 superset Facepull 5x20

Dips 3x15 superset close grip bench - bar vs mini bands doubled over 3x30

I obviously need to do more soft tissue work and address this impingement issue to keep building my shoulders and upper back up if I ever want to bench more.
