Canary in a Coal Mine

Good workout.

Thanks Mr. Biker

Trap bar 410x3 ( rep PR +2)

OHP worked up to 185 (=PR) 0x190 I had it…I blasted it past the sticking point at the top of my forehead, but couldn’t lock it out and started shaking so I slammed it into the rack to prevent skull damage…It was 7/8ths of the way there.damn it …135x11 ( rep PR +1)
weighted back ext 2-12 x70
incline curl 2x10 x25s slow eccentric

First time trying multiple reps above 400…I called it at 3 but I would say that was an RPE of 8…on OHP I either should have taken a longer rest after 185 or probably an even better course of action would have been to grow a pair, skip the 185 and rock 190…such a dumbass!!

You said you were going hit some PRs by the end if the year. Looks like you damn sure got it done! Congratulations! Well… all except the dumbass part🤣
Happy New Year OG🍻

Thanks Kid ! Happy New Year to you and Yours ! as for the dumbass part…I’m good at it ( hahaha)

Gym opened up at 5 instead of 4:15 so I was really rushed but its in the books and we are off and running in 2018

185 OHP. This reads like you’ve grown an extra pair.

I have a lot to do to catch up with you.

thanks… I hope to lift half what you do when I am our age…

A 185 OHP is 40 lbs away from 2 plates. Maybe…

hahaha…I don’t think at 170lbs and my ability that is in the cards…it just took a whole year to go from 180 to 185…Im close to 190 but the OHP is so fickle I could be close for a year or more…plus for 4 months out of the year my focus shifts to sprinting . Its not that lifting gets dropped or even put in the back seat but it gets moved over to make room for sprinting which stalls gains…having said that, having a BW triple albeit at 170, is more than thought I would ever do so who knows…

Today 3s day

warm-up Weighted neutral grip chins 3x3, 1x5 all plus 25lbs

OHP 3x135, 3x155, 3x175… got way out of the groove and had to fight the 3rd rep… as I started the 3rd I thought for sure I was banging on 4 reps…not so fast mister ! finished with 3x4 with a 4 count eccentric @135

Zerchers worked up to a double at 225…So I’ll start my rep work next session at 175…knees were very achy but after 2 sets of zerchers they felt awesome

I realize the trap bar can make a deadlift somewhat easier, but in my experience not 8 x 380.

The word press and number 225 in same sentence prompts me asking what’s a triple pause press?

Probably got a superman t shirt for Christmas.

You’re just trying to make the rest of us look bad, aren’t ya?

Unrack, bring the bar down to 3-4 inches off your chest and pause, lower to your chest and pause, press back up to 3-4inches off your chest and pause, finish rep…that’s 1 rep. If you think time under tension and working sticking points is effective training than this has you covered. It kinda combines floor presses, full presses and 2 board presses…

Hahaha, No I’m just trying not to get kicked out of the club…

I seriously doubt that is EVER going to happen!
