Due to my gym being closed on Monday I'll go just twice this week (Tue & Fri). Probably not a bad thing since I've been feeling burnt out.

Today:

Front squat: 95x5; 135x3; 165x1; 185x1; 195x1; 205x1; 215x1; 220x1
Push press: 95x5; 135x3; 155x2; 165x2; 175x2; 180x2
RDL: 135x5; 185x3; 205x2; 215x2; 225x2
CG BP: 135x3; 155x3; 175x1; 185x1; 195x1; 205x1; 210x1
Weighted incline sit ups: 75# 8,8

Weight: 196

Today:

Squat: 135x5; 185x3; 205x3; 215x3; 225x3
Push press: 95x5; 135x3; 155x2; 165x2; 175x2; 185xFail. I had the first rep 3/4 of the way up but just didn't have the will to fight it. I've really stalled on these so it is time to change things up. Starting next week I'll only be doing PP's twice a week and I'm going to tweak my set/rep scheme.

Today:

Squat: 135x5; 185x3; 205x2; 215x2; 225x2; 235x2
Push press: 95x5; 135x3; 155x1; 165x1; 175x1; 180x1; 185x1. On the 185 I stalled at the same spot as Monday but today I had the will to fight through it. I'm really starting to question whether I'm ever going to be able to do this (push press BW). I've been after this goal for over a year and a half. I was able to do 210 a year ago when I weighed 220. Hurt my shoulder, lost weight, now I can barely do 185 at 195 BW. Should this goal be THAT ****ING HARD?

Maybe try the Texas Method on the push press only? Mon:volume, Wed:recovery, Fri:intensity. Just an idea.

Hard to believe there is a routine out there I haven't done but I've never done the Texas Method. I'll have to do some research. I will be changing things up next week. Going to twice a week on the push press using a template I've previously used for benching. I've had success with it and have also flamed out using it so we'll see. Thanks.

Today:

Squat: 135x5; 185x3; 205x1; 225x1; 235x1; 245x1; 255x1; 265x1
Push press: 95x5; 135x3; 155x3; 165x3; 175x3. This was truly a 3 rep max. barely got the last rep.

Yesterday:

Push press: 95x5; 135x3; 145x6; 150x5; 160x4
Front squat: 95x5; 135x3; 5@185x1. I'm going to singles on the front squat to keep the volume down. About 60 sec between lifts. I'll try to add 1 rep each workout until I can do 10 and then I'll up the weight by 5# and start over at 5 reps.

Putting in some volume work on the PP?

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.

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.

Exactly.

Today:

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.

Felt good today. Beautiful day in San Diego after yesterdays rain.

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.

Why did you switch to front squat singles?

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

My gym will be closed tomorrow so I had to make a rare Sunday appearance.

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.

Looks like you've gotten past the sticking point.
