Great workout, my shoulders were actually sore for once! I think its because i did heavy push press (could have gone heavier) and I did heavier db front raises. used a little swing instead of perfect form but it allowed for heavier weight. I am gonna start switching to push/pull routine

Wednesday - Plyos
Thursday - Pull
Friday - Sprint work
Saturday - Legs/plyos

Thats what Im hoping. There was a 260lb fullback that benched 405x2, but he was huge and i just care about being stronger than the DB's. I might do another cycle in JUNE!
