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

24 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

datsit! very happy with the press!
"And in those simple beautiful movements I remembered what was really important in training; that consistency trumps intensity; all the time. That intensity is born from consistency. That one cannot force it, one has to lay in wait for it, patiently, instinctively, calmly and be ready to grab it when Grace lays it down in front of you."

Curious about the Goblet squat/ left legged box step up? Not sure what you're doing here. Just from reading your blog, it sounds like you have knee issues as I do?

I HAD knee issues. I had a total knee replacement 5 years ago and am always making sure my left leg stays up, size and strength wise with my right.
I did goblet squats and supersetting them with the left leg only box step ups
thought it would be good but it hit my gluts more than my quad and I need quad size
