GS 2. First three reps were done with a barbell out of a rack. As I was lowering the bar on the third rep I felt a painful pop in my neck where it connects with the skull on the left. It seems it wasn't anything serious. I decided to use the yoke for pressing instead. I discovered positioning is the key.

In about ten attempts. The sandbag consists of two smaller bags which move and make it really hard to shoulder.
