We are going to take a classic approach today to the strict press sets with each set being completed on the 2:00 mark with the focus of hitting quality reps, having a good amount of rest and then increasing loads down to the single on each series of 5-3-1. You should feel like you get substantial rest here in order to tackle these loads.
