Your pressing is great CN - power shrugs too.

225 is around the corner on PP's.....that is the funny thing with them, unless you make a bone-headed weight selection choice, the only scre-ups are speed/groove-related.

Nice workout.

thx for stoppin in fellas...yea, my pressing is coming along pretty well, I'm going to push all my presses for a few weeks and see how it goes - prioritizing bench and push presses...275 really feels light now, hopefully get some work sets at 315 before winter

yea, the push press is such a 'mental' lift...if you aren't focused and remember your fundamentals it will dominate you, but when its grooved it feels so light

Very nice lifting. The "BiggT protege" is an apt title.

From a page or so back, calves do seem a bit different. I stopped jogging as much a couple of months back and lost over 1/2" pretty quickly. I still haven't gotten back to doing a lot of cardio, but have added some heavy calf raises. Mine have never been real skinny, though. I'm guessing you get in a lot of running with your rugby anyway.

I may have missed this, but how deep are you going in the box squats? Just curious since you mentioned them as helping get out of the hole. I guess what is really meaningful is how much above or below parallel. Maybe I'll try them sometime. Sure is working well for you.

 

[ChinkNasty]

I usually box squat off a 14" box so its right at parallel for me

-ok day, 275 felt heavy, not much stamina on bench tonight, probably due to the 1 hour of sleep last night since I stayed up staying for this test this morning

I am changing my split after this week to this:

Mon: ME squats (heavy day), Power Shrugs, Wide Grip Weighted Pullups
Tues: Flat BB bench, BTN Push Press, Weighted Dips
Wed.: OFF
Thurs.: DE Squats (light day), Deadlifts (heavy), BB Rows
Fri.: Incline BB Bench, Flat db press, random arm work
