    Don't sweat that press fail (too much). That's right around the same point for most of us and it's the first lift to stall for all of us. I imagine that it's even tougher doing them seated, as you miss the lower part of the kinetic chain.

    If you haven't yet, watch Nick's video on Press and Bench Press Programming - Getting and Staying Unstuck. At a minimum, it's time to switch to +2.5lb jumps instead of +5lb jumps.

    Keep at it!
