Lying Tricep Raises / Press

[Matthew Spicka]

I've been programing LTRs into my shoulder workouts. I have been using the LTR as a warmup before my press. Currently at 3x10 @ #85. My press has been hovering in the 150 to 160 and I have some issues in the lockout. I am currently at 145 with my press. I was thinking if I can get #100 3x8-10 out of the LTR, I'll switch and start with the press and the LTR will follow.

Does this approach seem like it will work, hoping to approach #170-180 in the press.

I don't think you'll find anyone that will tell you it has worked.

If you want to press more, press more. Use the press to warm up for the press.

Appriciate the comments.

I am going to move my focus back to the press and use the other as an accessory lift.
