From now on I am going to do drop sets for set reps...too difficult to judge when to stop on just max effort.The pushups with a band across the back is awesome and I always forget about it.

Key takeaways from today: raise my head up a little bit and don't look straight down; keep hands and least shoulder width apart and don't cross overhead; always keep hand below wrist, wrist below elbow, elbow below shoulder; 3/4 catch up drill is ideal stroke.
