If you just hit 320x4 and 330x2 right after that, I'm pretty sure you have 350 in you. Just a matter of having a good day.

I did 325x5x3 and was able to manage 385 for a single. Feel better, belph. I'm sure you'll kill it.

^ There is a bit of difference between busting 325 for sets across and working up to 320x4 as a true rep PR.

In the session before I hit three-fiddy (160 kg) last winter, I had worked up to 320x4 for a rep PR. I doubt I could have done a second set with 320x4.

Point taken. It was more due to the fact belph did a double at 330 after the set of 320 that I said that. Regardless, you're doing good work belph.

Belph, I've fucked something in my upper back at the gym today doing presses, so expect 3-4 days before you get your L-sit to handstand video.

Thanks, broseph. I'm hoping you're right.

You sumna bitch.

Thanks man.


Three sets of five or five sets of three ? I'm assuming the former. Which I think I can manage, tbh.




EDIT: Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu... The 3x4 was a typo. I did 4 sets of three. Not one set of four. My apologies.

Snatch
60x3
70 1x3
80 1x2
85x1
90 3x1
91 2x1
95x1
96x1(PR !!!)
96x2xF(Fuggin' wrists. I just dropped the bar after the catch. It hurt so fucking bad.)


Press(Lbs)
90x5
110x14
130 2z3
150 7x3

Sets one through five were hard. I noticed it was due to me cleaning before hand. My grip oddly moved in and I had to adjust my grip thus losing tightness. So I started to press out of the rack, and it got tremendously easier. Bar speed was faster, it felt easier and I think I saw unicorns or some shit.

Anyhoo, I'm feeling really good about my press. After I finish week four do I move onto Sheiko30 Or should I repeat 29 with a higher training max?

Congrats on the snatch pr! Only 4kg away from 100 :icon_twis

I can't wait, it will be my first snatch milestone.

Do you need to rest your wrists and/or buy wrist wraps?

You can repeat it with a higher training max, or use a routine where the number of total reps is around the same or slightly higher. In your case, you'd look only at the pressing reps. So #39 or #37 would be good choices.

Just so you know, the routine numbers don't mean anything. MS prep 3 would have a similar weekly volume as well, but it'd mean 4 days of pressing on some weeks.

I think so. I'll probably just relax for a day or two and if it still hurts I'll start using my wraps.

Cool. I'll take a look around for the spreadsheets and I'll make a decision afterwards.

Oh. I did not know that. With regards to MS prep 3, I would like to press more, but I doubt I'd be able to with everything else. I think I'll probably stick with 29 and move my training max up 10 lbs.

 

[Tosa]

10lbs is a big difference with the press. Of course you know how your presses feel better than anyone, but maybe a more modest increase, with the option of adjusting the weight +/-5% depending upon how it feels during a particular workout. Then if you find you're always adjusting the weight up, you can bump your training max again.

Point taken. I've just been going up by 5% for awhile now, so it feels like to me I won't be add too much more to my max. However, it couldn't hurt to go with 5 and just adjust like you said.

Great snatching man!

^Lulz.. I should also note, I used my wrist wraps. My right wrist was giving me hell, and the tight wrap oddly relieved it.

I've started using some form of wrap/compression on my wrists since changing my grip on squats, also use for pressing, as I press thumbless.

Same. The false grip's bar path is pretty fucking awesome.
