ME - Upperbodyday for strongman.

[Exodus]

since im competeing next saturday, i switche all my exercises from pushing in the bench plane, to pushing in the ohp plane since the log and tires are on the agenda. set a pr on the first 2 exercises, but its also my first time to do them either.

Standing Tricep Bomber Bar Press - 115lbs x 16 reps in 60 seconds. then 165lbs x 5 in 45 seconds.

Standing Pin Military presses - (bar started on the pins at eye level) 195lbs x 3. [i saw stars on the last rep]

Standing Tricep Bomber bar ext - 35lbs x 6 x 10. with less than 30 seconds rest inbetween each set.

Overhead Cable Tricep Ext - 3 x 10 with 80lbs.

db bench press (hands in neutral grip like the log) 60lbs x 2 x 15.

felt good. i havent gone this heavy on military press in a long time and it felt good. my best ever is a 200lb 1 rep max on seated military. so to do the 195 for 3 reps standing (even though the pins were reducing rom by about 5 inches) felt really good to bost my confidence.

oh, and just incase anyone doesnt know. A Tricep bomber bar is a bar where your hands are in a neutral grip (like the log) but only about 12 inches apart. so its much harder than the log because it has a greater rom, and your hands are about a foot closer.

My faith in you comes from the belief that you have for yourself. Maybe I helped you to believe in yourself...but I have seen you work. I know how much you like to push yourself.

You can always be beaten because someone is stronger. NEVER be beaten because someone wanted it more...
