What a creative sub with the sled rope pulls! Sounds fun. 🙂 Next time start heavier on the seated press now that you know how strong you are!

A- 5×10 seated strict dumbell press 20kg each arm
B- every 2 mins 10 mins 10 bench press 70kg
C- 4 rounds for reps (dips)

In 4 mins row 250m then max strict weighted dip on straight bars instead of rings as rings hurt shoulder still.

1. 25
2. 21
3. 16
4. 15

Start heavier next time on those presses now that you know how strong you are! How did you like doing them in the seated position?
