Fell off the wagon...

[b fold the truth]

Yes, it is official...my overhead press sucks again!!!!

I'd like to say that I'm not sure what has went wrong...but I know. I quit hitting the triceps with volume, tate presses, and rolling dbell tric exts on a 2x a week basis. I also slacked off from board presses for a bit as well as speed bench.

I tried some new things and either they didn't work or I was yet to find my groove in that routine...

Started my overhead workout on Monday...and it just flat out sucked!!! I got a little upset and started hitting the triceps and dbell cleans hard...and boy are they sore!!! That means something...they are NOT conditioned like they should be!!!

Problem found...now all I have to do is solve it with gettin my butt back in gear and increasing my ohp!!!

[Cuthbert]

LOL Clint... have you been talking to Brown a lot? Maybe the pressing thing is infectuous.....


I shouldn't poke fun like that, he's not here to defend himself

 

[Exodus]

Well, at least you know what the problem is and will be able to fix it. Small consolation, I know. You'll be back to where you were in no time.

What do you mean?Are you going to the log cabin?
B fold,it will get back up there fast.Keep hitting it hard.You made the 300lb log clean and press look like nothing the last time I came down!!I think overheads go down for alot of people,the moment they back off of them,and the assistace work,even a little,so Im sure youll get it back up in no time..maybe even get some new pr's!

lol, don't slack on me now man.... I need those big numbers you post to realize how far I need to go...

 

[kingc_79]

yea me too...but we know when b says they werent great....that means that it was still extremely heavy, just not to his standards

I did some regular bar overheads, standing. Didn't go heavy or anything. I did set a PR on inclines though...

My triceps were not recovered from Saturday...time to up the volume on those suckers...and my hamstrings.

[Lord_Suston]

so true. Clint if you pr'd on incline you think maybe leg drive is hindering your ohp or do you do it strict and use mostly delts or use mostly tris

 

[kingc_79]

thats cool what was your pr on inclines? yea you killed overheads on saturday tho. i didnt work mine as hard bc i had just maxed 2 days prior but i was happy w/ the 240 farmers.

 

[b fold the truth]

so true. Clint if you pr'd on incline you think maybe leg drive is hindering your ohp or do you do it strict and use mostly delts or use mostly tris

I use lots of leg drive actually. It was suggested to me that I shouldn't DROP so much to catch the bar because it is causing the bar to 'bounce' so much as it locks out. I dunno...lol...I just need to get stronger.

Read the entire thread above..it explains how I got away from doing what works for me instead of what is the most fun...

Ohh...after overheads I did 135, 225, 275, 315 all for 3 then 365 x 1.

B True

 

[Exodus]

did you just say 365 x 1 on ohp, or incline bench press???

[kingc_79]

i think he meant on inclines...if im not mistaken
