    Good - larger, stonger lats will give you a good place to "shelf" the press and a good base to press from.

    I'd go with negitives. Jump up to the bar and slowly lower yourself. Work up to 10 - 15 per training session over a few weeks and then give a dead hang pull up a try.

    Could be a ton of things, but im sure that 15lb jump didn't. Next time only 5lb jumps.

    Resetting to 180lb will be fine. There however is no harm in going down to 160.
