Pretty sure I’ve never got 70kg before on standing press, so a few Pr’s here. Equalled seated 1rm of 80kg and a 2rm of 75kg. I thought I would be some way off these standing but no. Failed 1st attempt at 80kg as I spent too long braced and setting up, as soon as I started to press vision darkened and I felt I was going to blackout so stopped. 2nd attempt was a grinder but I’m happy I kept fairly upright which I’ve struggled to do in the past when nearing maxes.
Great session.

Think you’ve got a lot more in you. If your going for a PR just hit a couple of reps lat different weights leading up to it to get in the groove. Really hard to hit a PR after you missed it the first time and then come back and hit it. Congrats.

Awesome work in here man, PRs all over the place. Lockdown agrees with you.

I’m really pleased with progress at the moment. I’m maintaining weight whilst getting stronger, should probably keep it up for as long as possible rather than try and drop weight. I’m really going to have to try and keep it dialled back when gyms reopen as less frequency seems to be working well.

Disappointed with the 2 fails, especially the 120kg as I got that last time. Was determined to get a Pr of some kind so ground out 5 at 100kg.

Strength ebbs and flows in unpredictable ways, you will probably nail them next time

Thanks. Had a hard week at work with lots of chiselling of stone, my elbow tendonitus has been quite painful so I’m not that surprised benching was down.

7 more weeks till gyms reopen here. Really thought it was going to be sooner.
Yeah, a lot of stuff sucks right now. Still, you seem to be doing alright in the workouts department?
It’s OK, but I miss training in the morning before work.

85kg felt much more than 5kg heavier than 80kg!
Next attempt will try 75kg single before, skip 80kg then go for 85kg.

Sounds like a plan. Still, that was a more than solid ohp session. Great work!

125kg remains elusive. I’m failing about 6inches off my chest, I think where my Triceps want to take over. Will look at alternating in some cgbp.
