W7D2 Press

April 3, 2023

W7D2. A "let's see where I'm at" day. Happy with the modest increase. An extra 2.5kg but also executed a little more easily than the last time I tested. It's enough to keep me happy. If I can keep with this progression that's 30-35# a year. 

Looking forward to later this week as I'll be able to start standing pressing outside again. Look for a starting max there as well. 

Seated BB Press 100k x 1, 102.5k x f

CG Bench 141k x 1, 146k x f - less of a jump I may have had it. 

Deck of Bee's as I needed the test. Ouch! Not tonight.
