ME Upper: PRs + Vids

[Zander1983]

ME Upper, 6 October 2003

Overhead Press
132 x 3
154 x 3
176 x 1
198 x 1 (previous PR)
220 x 1 PR
231 x 1 ??? (very wobby, ended up stepping forward to lock it out)

Close-grip Bench Press
220 x 3
242 x 3
264 x 3 PR

Yates Rows
176 x 5 x 3 sets

Shrugs
132 x 20
154 x 15
176 x 10

Only 45 minutes worth. Not the volume I was planning for, but I was happy with some nice PRs.

I'm not sure if I should count the 231 x 1 overhead?

Unfortunately the sound on the video is weird, namely the bass(?) or drum section of the music track. Not really my cup of tea... anybody got any ideas there?

Sweet

Thanks bro. Your overheads during the week were the inspiration for today's pressing.

 

[t3c]

thanks

lmao @ the avatar

 

[Lord_Suston]

Zander- that counts for a pr sie you got a full lockout- but i think that counts for a push press since you used leg drive. Good form on the Yate's rows, next time thro in some pull-ups to hammer the back. Looked real stable on the CG-press, damn tricept whore,lol

 

[Mike_Rojas]

Wow

[WalkingBeast]

Damn Zander! Your getting freaky strong, and much bigger too! Awesome!

 

[Zander1983]

Thanks guys. I weighed in at 195 yesterday morning, so the weight is coming at a consistent rate.

 

[coolcolj]

That is amazing, I know 175lbs feels damn heavy for me. I can't even imagine what 225+ feels like

[Mike_Rojas]

[sinjinsmythe33]

[thebrute]

[revexrevex]

[Zander1983]

My parents saw me in a t-shirt for the first time in months, since its been winter here, and asked that I not get any bigger... lol

 

[Cuthbert]

Great job Zander. That's a SOLID push press. How often do you train overhead?

[Zander1983]

How often do you train overhead?

DE Upper, usually something like 6x3 @ 70% or 7x2 @ 75%. just trying to accelerate as much as possible. Will have to adjust those %s now

 

[JOKER47]

[Zander1983]

Now I gotta test my max push press tomorrow.

lol... good luck

 

[Mike_Rojas]

Thanks man. Last week I got 185x2 after some heavy strict pressing. I wonder what I should go for? I haven't really got that leg drive working yet.

 

[Zander1983]

200 x 1 would be a nice target

 

[kingc_79]

Now I gotta test my max push press tomorrow.

me too...gotta start training again tomorow.

 

[b fold the truth]

You get bigger all the time!!!

When you decide that you are going to dip to press...dip FAST!!!! No reason to dip slow...make a QUICK dip and reverse that speed into the bar!!!!
