W1D2 Press
April 17, 2024
W1D2
BB Push Press 225 x 10 x 1r
Bradford Press 155 x 3 x 8r
Pull-ups w/40# Deload 235.8# x 5 x 5r - figure I'll replicate my last session to clean up technique then I'll drop another 5# off of the Deload next time.
SS
Band Pushdowns x 25/20/15
Hammer Curl w/FG 45e x 3 x 6r - real niggly with the first set. I will force compliance. That's appropriate rehab right?

W8 Dead’s
April 15, 2024
W8 dead's. Was going to redo week 7 as I had not did one set of squats and dead's but I'm happy with giving it the regular bump. Getting a bit choked out on the squats. This weight and reps pretty much confirms I'm good for 405. Happy days! Should be posting a 405+ shortly after my 52nd bday next month.
Front Squat 166k (366#) x 3 x 3r
Deadlift 505 x 3 x 3r
CS T-Bar Row Angled Grip 90 x 3 x 12r

W1D1 Press
April 12, 2024
Week 1, day 1 of more press shenanigans. The 7 week program again. I'll focus on push pressing on my second days.
Fun fact. Not benching for awhile seems to have given me a tightness in my shoulders I haven't experienced before that makes dips niggly. For now. Take it a tad easy.
Strict Press 160 x 5 x 5r
Forehead Pin Press 205 x 6 x 3r
Dip 273# x 5 x 5r
Pull-ups w/40# Deload (233#) x 5 x 5r - after the first set I quit using the chair
Hammer Curl w/FG 45e x 3 x 5r - first time I'm able to do this in a bit. Gimped my braich a few months ago. Left is feeling a bit niggly yet. I'll ease into these a bit too.

W1 Squat
April 10, 2024
Week 1. Did a reset on the squat. Just feel like I need a few weeks of higher reps for a reset.
SSB Box Squat 144k(317#) x 3 x 10r
Belt Squat 200 x 2 x 12r
GHR 273.5 x 2 x 10r
Sandbag Row - nope. Hammies are cooked from not hitting them direct for a bit.

W12H Press
April 8, 2024
W12H. Today really sucked. I was feeling great through all of the lighter warmups but I failed my first rep at 215 and had to hit it again. 225 and 235 weren't bad but I stalled at 250. Another case of the diet and sleep 1-2 days ahead of maxing being more detrimental than the day of. Oh well. Keep chipping away.
Strict Press 215/225/235 x 1r, 250 x 2 x f

W12T1 Press, W7 Squat
W12T1 Press, W7 Squat. Going to ignore that I was pressing yesterday and just do some more. Got to spread this week out a bit too. Lots of travel plus the comp on Saturday. I'm also supposed to be peaking my press 1RM this week as well but I think I'll just press twice this week and hit it better rested next week. First day trying my Tuff knee sleeves. Really like them so far.

W11T1 Press
March 25, 2024
W11T1. Week 11 of me pressing 3x a week. Kinda looking forward to the end of this program next week to give my shoulders a little rest. I'm also thinking of re-jigging Pavel's fighter pull-up program with the deload for 2-3x a week and staying within certain rep parameters and just adjust the weight. Used ladders for the sandbag rows to see if they'd stave off the wicked cramp I got last time. Seems to work.
Strict Press 195 x 6 x 1r, 185 x 3r
Pull-ups w/45# Deload (274.7#bw) 229.7 x 6/6/6/4/3
Sandbag Row Ladders 270 x 2 x 1/2/3r
