Guillotine presses...holy crap.  Been on my list of things I wanted to try for a while...I wasn't sure it would make a huge difference.  It does. Here's a picture from a T-Nation article: 

Basically you're lowering the bar to your throat, with your feet off the floor and your ankles crossed. Here's a video of Lee Hayward doing it.  His feet are on the ground, I just prefer them up to ratchet up the intensity of the exercise. 

 

Rest of session went great!
