I dont really have anything to board press with I've tried doing lockout presses and pressed off that blue block but none of them work as well as floor press.

Saturday 7.9.11

Military press
155x7 PR

SLDL
315x5
345x3
365x3

Tuesday 7.12.11

Floor press
65x8
135x5
165x5
185x3
205x3
225x2
250x3 PR
250x2
250x1
250x1

DB Floor extensions
3x10x40's PR

Squat
135x5
185x5
225x5

Comments: Both good workouts. Military press has slowed down a bit but that is still a big pr. SLDL were pretty easy and didnt irritate my leg. Floor press also went great, still keeping it light on squats but my leg feels much better

things looking good in here...
i think SLDL's are just fine either way... though off a platform from a deficit i think i like them best...
any plans on attempting that bw millitary press soon? im pretty sure you could get grind it out ...

good job bro!

 

[Tblock1]

thanks guys!

Moya: I'm thinking it's going to be time to test my max military press pretty soon. I just weighed myself in at 183.8 so 185 should do the trick nicely. 155x7 should give me around 190 but it doesnt work like that for military press with me my 1 rm is usually weaker. I dont think I've ever done over 165 for a rep.

Also, I've been mountain biking a lot and just today I went down this really steep shoot that my friend wouldnt go down and my front wheel went down and I went up I mustve gotten a good couple feet of air then slammed in to the ground. I mostly just got a couple scrapes but there is an irritation in left rotary cuff, I hope it goes away cause I need that shoulder for military pressing!

7.18.11

Military press
45x8
75x5
90x5
115x3
135x3
155x6

Comments: Disappointing workout but that was expected. I only made it to one workout last week and then was gone houseboating. Also my shoulder definitely held back the strength because it has hurt lifting it above a certain level since my bike crash. However currently its almost 100% so hopefully I will be back on track moving towards a 155x10 military press I also dont know when Im going to make up deadlifting, maybe today.

 

[JDid23]

good to hear you're almost recovered.... definitely take the necessary precautions bro, but it doesn't sound too bad so hopefully you'll be 100% soon.

Sunday 7.22.11

Floor press
135x5
155x5
185x3
205x3
225x2
255x2 (+1 forced rep) PR
225x5

DB floor extensions
3x8x45's PR

I was hoping for 3 reps at 255 for floor press but with the time off and the shoulder strain I was quite happy with this workout

 

[lweaver]

I take it lockout is your sticking point because of long-ass arms?

 

[Tblock1]

actually on floor press and bench press usually the midpoint seems to be where I will get stuck and fail a rep.
