180 lb Press 5 x 2 PR!!, 40kg belt squats,Floor pushups laterals



WOW!! Wow oh wow oh wow! Did not expect this! Especially when I was pretty flat coming into the gym. Just a crazy busy weekend and not a lot of mental prep time. Plus the 48 kg workout got me a bit worked as well as the fast ruck

But I thought my technique would pull me though and it did! It all held! Every set had one rep that was a bit out in front and I pulled them all back! that never would have happened even 5 weeks ago as I would try to push the bar back over my head INSTEAD OF PUSHING MY HIP FORWARD MORE. Worked every time today. SO cool

65 x 3
85 x 3
105 x 3
135 x 2 ( belt on)

180 x 2 x 5 PR!! on first try with this weight/rep combo

all three at 55 will be very hard! But these are key for my press . Almost ready to try handstands again. Very soon.

Not sure what to do next week. Thought about back off but too what? I could also go to 185 for multiple singles and stay there til I hit 5 x 1? have a think about it but for now, just enjoy the glow of victory!
