Dufisthenics

Today was shoulder and back day.  I ended with a couple sets on the Cybex plate loaded shoulder press.  I don’t know what it is with the physics/leverage on this piece of equipment but it literally doubles the amount of weight I could normally handle with shoulder press barbell work.

Keep in mind this was at the end of my workout after I have done stuff like handstand push ups so my shoulders were already well worked.  I still managed to squeeze out a very legit 3 reps with three big plates on each side.  It’s a magical piece of equipment.
