For me, yeah. Anything over 3 reps is volume work.

Monday is a higher volume day. Wednesday I'll do CG BP which puts very little stress on my shoulders and Friday will be higher intensity. I'll be using the progression table from a BP program I've done a few times. Yesterday was a little harder than I thought it so we'll see how it goes.

I checked out the Texas Method. Looked interesting. Kind of like Starr 5x5 which I did years ago. Might have to give it a try at some point.

Re: 3x3

CG BP will help as far as tricep strength goes. I assume the top of pressing movements is where they come in, so maybe doing them will help with your push press.

Re: 3x3

Today:

Push press: 95x5; 135x3; 160x3; 170x2; 190xN. The program calls for a negative. My genius idea was to do a reverse band push press. Help on the bottom, unload at the top and lower slowly. I looped my mini bands over the top of the rack and around the bar but this provided very little help at the bottom and deloaded too quickly. So I wrapped the band around the top of the rack again which looked to do the trick. At least I thought I did. The problem was that on the right side I wrapped the band around the top in the wrong direction so it unwrapped as soon as I looped the weight around the bar (I didn't realize this at the time LDO). I thought something was wrong because the weight felt much heavier in my right hand. I got the weight overhead with a lot of effort (picture a bar where there is 15# more on one side than the other). I then tried to lower it very slowly. Epic fail. I don't drop the weight so I'm used to lowering the weight under control but there was no way I could slow this weight down. The bar being unbalanced didn't help. When I unlooped the bands from the end of the bar I could see what happened. The band on the right was hanging down a good 6" further than the band on the left. I can't wait for my 195# negative next week.
Front squat: 95x5; 135x3; 7@185x1
Bent over barbell row: 135x5; 155x3; 170x2; 180x2; 190x2; 200x2
Weighted incline sit ups: 80# 8,7

Re: 3x3

Today:

Push press: 95x5; 135x3; 165x3; 175x2; 195xN. Wish I had this on video. Set the bands up correctly this time. The bands fully deload about 4" from lockout. I get to that point and then stall...completely. Somehow, after what seemed like 10 seconds, I managed to lock it out. At one point I thought I was going to pass out. Scheduled for 200# next week. Can't wait.

Re: 3x3

Why did you switch to front squat singles?

To reduce my already minimal volume even further. Plus, I like singles.

Push press: 95x5; 135x3; 155x3; 170x3; 180x2; 200xN. No problem with the negative today. Weight actually flew up. I held it OH for about 5 seconds then lowered. I think I finally figured out how to set the bands up.
