 Who said it's hardcore? Member 3896, 847 posts SQ 265, BP 150, DL 320735.0 kgs @ 128kgs UnEq | Pressing: Max Effort Upper Week 5/16 Some single arm tricep extensions to warmup as shoulder isn't 100%... it helped last time out so was worth doing again Strict Press: 20kg x 10, 40kg x 5, 50kg x 5, 60kg x 3, 70kg x 3, 80kg x 3, 85kg x 3, 90kg x 3, 95kg - F, 100kg x F Push Press: 95kg x 3, 100kg x 3, 105kg x1, 110kg x 1, 120kg x F, 115kg x F, 100kg x 5 (5RM PR) Seated DB Presses: 16kg 3 x 12, 11kg 5 x 12 Chest Rows: 16kg x 10, 23.5kg 5 x 10 BW Dips: 5, 5, 3 (PR) (last time was 3, 3, 2) EZ Curls: 25kg x 6, 30kg x 6, 35kg x 6, 40kg x 6, 35kg x 6, 30kg x 6 Summary Crappy fails on the press but I half expected it. Was determined to walk away with a 3 or 5 rep PR and I settled on 100kg in the end although I could perhaps have upped this to 105kg. Not massively important I guess at this stage. Was nice just to be able to press without any pain. Chest rows were good... really hit the mid back which I don't get with seated rows so these are staying in. Good for forearms and grip too. Dips were good. I felt strong on them despite being about 1kg heavier than last time I tried. I think I have the technique nailed down now so I'm feeling confident about improving on these in the coming weeks. Need more tricep strength in my press! Just some curls to finish off really. | ||

Dip and then try to imagine pushing yourself under the bar as you drive up. Works for me a treat. | ||

My favourite strongman event. | ||

Member 3896, 847 posts SQ 265, BP 150, DL 320735.0 kgs @ 128kgs UnEq | Just did high bar squats again to start: 60kg x 10, 100kg x 10, 120kg x 5, 140kg x 5, 150kg x 5, 170kg x 5 Sumo Deadlifts: 60kg x 5, 100kg x 5, 140kg x 5, 180kg x 5, 200kg x 3, 240kg x 1, 250kg x F Was pissed off not locking out the 235kg sumo deadlift on Monday... really bugged me.
