Hey guys
Currently taking on the Bear and loving it. Have had some great suggestions on set up etc and all have been great fully received.
In my original post I said that back issues were meaning that I was goblet squatting instead of back squatting/deadlifting. When I hit a second cycle of this/run pttp for a while I should be back doing one or the other, but at the moment I am goblet squatting.
I have been using the seated press for the shoulders and after feeling pretty wiped from a session I tried using incline rows bear style aswell. That was great until I went back to press today and found the shoulders were a little fatigued (I still got an additional two sets which is great).
I chose seated press as I tend to lean back regardless of weight used when using standing press and with a long back it starts to hurt. Seated press tends to be ok, but I am finding that it is uncomfortable in the hours after a session. With that in mind I was thinking of using a close grip upright row taking it to about bottom/mid chest level. This should target the shoulders/traps nicely and take the pressure off my lower back.
Thoughts?
