progress is progress is progress..... and that's not bad at all for military. do that every year and you'll have outstanding military #s

 

[lweaver]

Nice military presses now go squat until we tell you to stop!

Yeah jdid if I could continue that every year I would build up a pretty respectable press.

Lweaver: Roger that! I am going to do my deadlift/military press workout wednesday. Then the next workout after that there shall be some serious squatting. I am going to try and rep 205-225 for as many reps as possible, which will probably be pretty pathetic as I am sure that I am weak at squats now.

Monday 8.22.11

Bench
5x3x240

DB Floor extensions
3x8x50's PR

Cardio---18 minutes elpytical

Comments: Solid workout considering I havent lifted since last tuesday and have been backpacking and camping since then. As usual when I've done that the first set felt rough, almost like 240x3 was my max. Then it smoothed out and I'd say the 5th set of 3 was actually much easier and smoother than the 1st set. Also surprisingly didnt lose any strength on db floor ext.

What you said about the latter sets of 240 being easier than the earlier sets, the 10x3 I am doing emphasizes this and capitalizes on it.

Just thought you would like to know.

yeah by the last set my muscles were warmed up with the weight and it felt smooth and strong. I imagine by the 10th set it would be even more so. I'm going to have to experiment with 10x3 style stuff again

 

[miked8c]

If you do start light.

If I can make it to 275x10x3 than you can take my word that its good program.

Comments: Solid workout. It's been about a week and a half and some a 5 day camping and backpacking trip in between the last time I military pressed so I was more than happy with keeping my strength. Also I've never pressed over 165 so it felt great to do 175 for 2. Deadlift went great first time deadlifting in a while and it felt fantastic to have no leg pain!!!! I did feel a slight tightness there but no pain! You know what that means squatting it up again hahaha


My long standing goal (probably for well over a year now) of pressing my bodyweight is very close

Thursday 9.1.11

Bench
7x3x240
1x2x240 (failed the 8th set of 3)

Squat
205x20

Comments: Not bad it'd been 10 days since I'd benched so I wasnt at optimum performance. This is the first time I've done squats in forever and it felt awesome. I already feel really sore

Comments: I just transitioned back to school so I didnt expect much this workout, I had barely had anything to eat that day or the 2 before it. It showed for sure because last session I did 165x5 then 175x2, this time I couldnt even get 175x1 and had trouble getting 155x3. Just goes to show how much of a difference it is to be properly fueled.

I'm trying to come up with a new workout routine too now that PT has started back up
