• Today I worked on the "shoulders press up before elbows lock out" thing that Jeff talked about.
  I got it some of the time.
  It turns out the trick is to press your shoulders up before your elbows lock out.
  If Jeff could just make these things more clear I wouldn't have these sorts of problems. It's these damn cryptic clues he uses.
• So what seemed to work was thinking about keeping my elbows bent until I had moved my shoulders as far as I could. I actually thought of my arms as in one of those nautilus lat pullover machines 
  
  I've never used one, but that position for the elbows.
  In the video it doesn't look like that, but that image seemed to work.
• I can't see what my shoulder blades were doing, but my delts were burning rather drastically, especially in the high rep set.
• And today was much harder than it has been. High gravity heavy. That isn't a heavy weight and it doesn't normally feel heavy to handle it, just hard to move it correctly.
  Today it was a struggle. Just one of those things.
