Strict Press practice full pyramid to 175 lbs, goblet squat/one leg box squat, floor pushups, lateral combo

Since I was switching back to press on Mondays and was tired coming in I decided to do a singles workout working up and see what I had. Pretty decent and  I wasn't really WARMED up until 40 minutes in! That told me something

I actually liked this method very much and might play with it for awhile. Work up to a heavy single in small jumps ( let fate decide where it is that day) but stop after a hard grind and then rep it back down.

Can't hurt to try. I've been doing sets and reps the other way for years

this was excellent! Lots of very specific practice.

Goblet squat/ left legged box step up
20 kg x 3/ 5
24 kg x 3/5
28 kg x 3/5
32 kg x 3/5

I really like this single leg box step up. did them in the cage and used rails for a balance check if I needed it. This will work well going forward as it really works the left leg but doesn't involve the right at all

Floor pushups
3 sets 20 STRICT and slow

These were not easy!

combo laterals
sides then rears 3 sets of 8/8 15 lbs
