Great advice Mike, now I know why my shoulders have been becoming more rounded forward by the day. I have been doing Supersets of Double C&P with weighted chin ups (palms facing me) for 7 sets of 5 reps Monday & Friday, then Wednesday a superset of floor press with weighted pull up (palms away) then doing my lowerbody press & pull work after for the same format. Thanks again Mike wish I had seen your stuff when I was in the Royal Marines. Got any seminars in England soon?
Great Vid Mike! Question: You talk a lot about the benefit of KB doubles for your presses and overhead work. Do you think we should be working our pulls in doubles way to match that? What's been the most effective pull for you when it comes to building up strength and/or volume for your pressing?
@jjs237 Yes I do and Double KB bent over rows and One-arm stacked rows. I can barbell row 275 for 5 reps which is not far from my bench press of 305 for 5. That is the ratio one should have.
As usual Mike, your instruction is at the top of the food chain!

Don't pull ups count where you have to squeeze the shoulder blades together by touching the throat to the bar as a rear shoulder anti slouch measure

@Scarl37 I would say that version would help. Behind the neck pull-ups work as well for those that can handle them.

Mike, you always do a great job breaking it down. Thanks for taking the time to walk us through the various moves. It's been helping a lot. :)

@matthewlawless1 thanks and no seminars in the UK. I was in Scotland a few months ago. You should have attended.
