Journey Back to The Stage

Strong 100 pressing! no idea how you struggled with 125 with that kind of pressing power.
 
It's odd isn't it?

One thing Rob keeps trying to stop me doing is just lose all tension as the bar hits my chest. So I'm all planted properly, stable base :p, heels planted, back arched, but as soon as I start to struggle, when I lower the bar, I just completely lose tension everywhere and am almost using all front Delts getting it up. Maybe why I struggle as the weight goes up
 
strong 125 delt press. I wonder if you'd find doing some paused work beneficial, it has the benefit of teaching you to keep tension among many other things.
 
Friday: Back

Deadlifts - 60kg x10, 100kg x8, 145kg x4x4, 185kg x2x2, 145kg x10
Widegrip Chins - BW x10x3
Bent Over Rows - 100kg x10x3,
One Arm Row - 38kg x10x2
GHR - x10x3

Knackered. So glad 10s are over. Down to 8 next week and I'm excited to see the weights I can shift
 
Yeah lol it's a bizarre ratio. I was doing 45-50kg DB rows before this program, but I just can't adapt to the rest periods. Hopefully next week with 8's I can bridge the gap a bit
 
To give you an idea, I normally do around 80kg BOR (pretty strict) and do about 60+ for DB..
 
8 reps this week

Dem overhead extensions, so joocey at the moment as I've really clicked with them. Get a massive pump and all the right feels from them.
