I didn't go too heavy as I was focusing on my setup on these. Because of tight shoulders I used to set up with the bar just under my C7. Because of the way I have to grip the bar due to bad wrist and tight shoulders, the bar had a tendency to roll/slide over my C7 at the bottom of the GM movement. This had to change.

I pre stretched my shoulders and focused on keeping the bar farther down on my traps. I have a ways to go to be where I want to be but it went ok and was an improvement.

First time in a long time for these. Used a high, narrow foot placement and that worked out well. Knees feel great today. Quads are slightly sore today. Feels good.

Decent workout. I look forward to improving the GM's. In the past, everything went up when those improved. These are harder to do now without the belly I used to have. I used to be able to use my belly as a brake on the way down. I would rather have the flatter stomach in the big picture. I don't have a six pack yet but I do have 2.5 abs working for sure. Hoping for 3 plus in a month...
