Power (shoulders) — the only true PR set on shoulder day.
Execution
Seated, strict, no leg drive. Press from the front delt through a full range. A rep more or a little more weight every week is the only thing that moves this set forward.
The cue that matters
Strict press, no leg drive — if the legs are helping, the delt isn't the one getting the PR.
Common mistake
Bouncing out of the bottom or laying back into an incline bench press; keep it vertical and honest.
