The point = More Weight Overhead

The carry over from Push pressing to military is great.

Military to push press, the same can't be said I dont' think.

To each their own, I won't "sell you" on it. If you like it great, give it a whirl

I think they provide some "fun" to my workout rather than strict pressing, and i'm using more weights than I can strict.

But from doing that I can strict press more weight than when I started for sure.

Well, if the carry over is good, I'll give it a whirl after my current 5X5. Don't wanna mess with things too much right now.
Thanks.

I looked at a few pages of the thread, so I might have missed it, but whats your workout like? I saw a bunch about diet, and a little about going to the gym, but no plan. Cardio?

Thanks for stopping in.
I can't remember what I had at the beginning of this thread, but currently I am doing a 5X5 & there are thrice weekly workouts posted since the new year. Cardio is kinda hit & miss right now. I'm not doing a bulking, per se, but I'm more concerned with getting my lifts in, and eating enough to support that. I do the cardio when I can fit it into my sched, usually 2 - 3 times per week, 1/2 hr to 1 hr, Crosstrainer, Treadmill & Step mill.

Well, tylenol itself doesn't really work that well for me. If I have a headache I have to take 3 Extra Strengths. For me, also, headaches are easier to treat than other pains.

Be sure not to exceed recommend daily dose of tylenol ...
Showin sum

Ab workout post deads with that heaving eh?

My 5X5​

Week 6 Workout 3​

Squat: 1 RM - 350, 5 RM - 305
2X165(4), 2X220(6½), 2X275(8½), 2X330(9½), 2X370(10). Couldn’t have done anymore

Alternate D.B. Curls: 1 RM – 52½, 5 RM - 50
3X25(4), 3X35(6), 3X45(8½), 2X50(9¾), 2X55(10). PR here. Woo Hoo! BTW, I just realized, since I changed my lifts 2 weeks ago, I’ve been doing this wrong. I was staying at the same weight, ‘stead of pyramiding up.

Bench Press: 1 RM – 275, 5 RM - 240
2X135(4½), 2X175(6½), 2X210(8½), 2X245(9½), 2X280(10). PR, but with a spotter again. They had to help more, so I’m gonna camp here for a week or 2.

Stiff Legged Deadlift: 1 RM – TBD, 5 RM - TBD
5X90(6), 5X120(8), 5X180(9), 5X180(9), 5X180(9½).

D.B. Rows: 1 RM – TBD, 5 RM - TBD
5X25(4), 5X40(7½), 5X55(9), 5X55(9½), 9X55(10). I’m thinking this is a PR, Gotta check my old logs.

Incline D.B. Press: 1 RM – TBD, 5 RM - TBD
5X35(4½), 5X50(7½), 5X65(9), 5X65(9½), 10X65(10). I’m thinking this is a PR too. Gotta check my old logs.

Synopsis

Another awesome workout. A coupla PRs. Getting harder.

I have a coupla questions for some 5X5 vets. When you stall, do you stay at that weight ‘til you get it, or do you back off 10% or so, then work up again. I think I’ve read both ways & I’m wondering which is most efficacious.
Also, when you’re doing something like this, Incline D.B. Press: 1 RM – TBD, 5 RM - TBD
5X35(4½), 5X50(7½), 5X65(9), 5X65(9½), 10X65(10). and you want to reset your 5RM, would the 65 lbs count, or woukd it be different because it was 3 sets of 5 in a row at that weight?
