I think the back off sets have helped. There are a couple of other possible factors as well. I've gained a few pounds, I've stayed relatively healthy (other than my back acting up), I've been able to get to the gym on a consistent basis and last, but certainly not least, my squat numbers have improved a lot. They are still kind of pathetic but 2 years ago I couldn't squat at all because my knees were killing me. I think a good squat really helps the push press because it all starts with leg drive.
Today (deload week):
Front squat: 95x5; 115x3; 135x3; 155x3; 175x3; 195x3. Pretty easy.
Bench press: 115x5; 135x3; 155x2; 165x2; 175x2; 185x2; 195x2. I haven't done a regular bench (pinkies on the rings) in over 3 years. I'll try a max on Wednesday. I was hoping I could get 225 but based on today that ain't happening. I think my CG BP might actually be higher.
1 arm DB row: 2 @ 65x8
Weighted incline sit ups: 2 @ 40x8
Weight: 203
