I'm going to try Bradford presses for a while, hav'nt done them for a long time. Do you do them standing or seated? Killer workout Terry! Joel I prefer them seated as I find I get more isolation. I have tried them standing but found my back & legs got too involved.

Hoops,a Bradford Press is where you either sit or stand taking a barbell of a rack,you press it to about the height of the top of your head,then instead of locking out,you lower the bar behind your neck,as soon as it touches your traps,you press it back to the front,then again to behind the neck,and so forth.
You never lock out the bar,it goes to top of the head from the front,to behind the neck,and back.....just clearing the head with no lock out, and this keeps constant tension on the shoulders.

So its a front of the shoulder to the back of the shoulder exercise movement? So one rep would not be till you completed both movements?

Thanks boys. They are very tough. As I stated earlier, the most difficult part is judging the weight correctly. Once you've got it down, they are an amazing addition to the workout.

Thanks Tim. This was a tough one today. I kept rests between sets at 2 minutes. Also, I was pretty happy with the 100s on the DB press. I haven't done this weight for quite a while.

Progrss Update: I've noticed a lot more cut in the upper body, back, and legs. Abs are slowly coming along but I still have a long way to go.
I seem to be responding much better to the carb cycling diet. As for cals, right now I've been steady at around 3000 cals/day for the last week and a half. On Thursday, this will change to 2500 cals/day with the carbs continuously being cycled. This cycle will continue to change every Thursday.
