As that would put enormous volume stress on your front deltoids, and I don't know if they can sustain that for longer periods. Or do you do it like rippetoe, where you do one push per workout? I do 1-2 pushes per workout. Always 1 overhead (Press or Push Press) and 1-2x a week I add Dips, weighted or unweighted. I don't do any direct triceps work, but sometimes I feel like I should. I bench very rarely because of shoulder problems which happened because of benching... go figure. In general, I don't find overhead work that taxing. Just in combination with lots of Chin Ups it destroys my arms. | ||

snatch 135, 145x, 145, 155, 160, 165x, 165, 170x, 170x, 170, 180x, 180x, 180x, 180x c&j 135, 155, 175, 185, 195, 205, 210, 220x, 220x, 220 squat 255x5x5 Two of the misses at 180 were really really close, on one of them I had it locked out in the bottom but my wrist just gave out, would've been a 5lb PR. The 220 c&j was a 5lb PR, it was definitely a press out haha but I'll take it, it wasn't super bad. My jerks overall weren't very stable at the lockout today. Gonna post vids in the oly thread. | ||

My press went up on 5/3/1, but only by 2.5kg a month. It was going up but after switching how I trained it it started going up a lot more quickly. The "if it aint broke don't fix it" thing has always annoyed me because it's anti-betterment. | ||

Well if it is going as well as you'd like it to but if you are getting solid 2.5kg improvement per month and managing to keep it at that then you've gone up 30kg in a year and for presses I'd be pretty happy about that. | ||

![]() SS is a pretty harsh program for me atm, if I do everything properly, dont miss a workout, rest exactly as I should and eat well, I get really really nice gains. However, if I dare to skip a workout or eat slightly less than I should, I'm like doomed for a week or something. lol. Still, for the last few workouts things have been going great. Deadlift: 152.5 kg x5 Squat 109x3x5 (I was unable to fix my elbow problems with low-bar, so I switched to high-bar and dropped the weights down a lot. Used to have 122kgx3x5 with lowbar) benchpress 67.5 x 3x5 (I was stuck here for quite a while for whatever reason. But I finished the set, and hope to do 69kg on wednesday) overhead press: 49 x3x5 (I've been getting pretty incredible gains with this one for a while now. I don't know why, but I've been able to increase the weight almost every time now. I fully expect to do 50x3x5 on friday! ![]() current bodyweight: ~85kg, 187cm | ||
