Doing a pyramid plan. Bench press, barbell curl, french press, bent over rows, military press, shrugs, squats. I'm thinking one set of crunches to failure. Debating that or multiple sets. Any thoughts on that? Still a bit sore from my warmup run on the routine yesterday. Maybe a little too ambitious, but we'll see.
A french press? Other than a device for making delicious coffee, I've never heard that term used. Just looked it up on youtube, and I've always called those skull crushers. You doing them standing, sitting or lying down?

As far as the workout, personally I'd throw a deadlift in there, maybe in place of bent-over rows and move the rows instead of shrugs, but other than that it's a nice push/pull/push/pull/push/pull/push workout. And, I don't know how old you are, but that three days a week would kill my joints.
