We've been doing a bit more shoulder focused stuff lately- must check out the cable variations, I remember face pulls being primo and providing a sick burn if you can get the form right. Off that list of what you trained today what's your favourite/must have exercise?
We did arnold shoulder press last night. oh what a pump!

@jk ha ha love it when the metal soundtrack kicks in! Leaning on the rack etc is a good idea, wonder if that helps avoiding a shrug as part of the movement, so you keep things isolated.

Nice work on the overhead press - knowing your approach to training I know you are on point with form. But just in case... Glutes bro, glutes!
OHP is all about getting dat booty firing so you lock out your posterior chain. That makes it way safer for your back, and minimising too much arching, especially when it gets heavy.
We did some of these last night - oath they are good for a shoulder and back pump! 60kg for 5 for sets is mint too
-
Too much detail JK!! obs a mean pump going on ha ha

Oh yeah took the son out yesterday and a kick around and fitness blowout before his season starts on the weekend.
Did many lengths of the field with the old catch pass --> sprint ahead --> pass backward --> repeat sorta thing with 5 pressups for any dropped ball. A few sprints etc too and malcoms of course.
Also slotted a couple of nice place kicks from 22m then 30m which flew through with ease so tried 40m and just about tore my groin! Dropkicks were a bit loose but good fun.
