M&F rating for old workout: B

Our Advice

Since your goal is maximum pressing strength, train lower reps so you can practice with heavier weights and forge better technique. Add some pulling exercises as well and alternate them with your shoulder lifts.

*Note: In the new workout, be sure to alternate the A and B exercises.
