I consider myself to be of... let's say, above average intelligence (153 IQ professionally tested, only read non-fiction literature, blah blah the usual), and hence I learn things differently than others. The photo you included in your post is exactly what I needed to properly visualize how to set up for my OHP's in the future as I've been struggling to get my form down in the past few months. Thank you kind anon.

>take a deep breath
>look sideways at the mirror take make sure that i notice the pump this workout gives me
>'flex a cep'
