Lying DB Row 3 sets

Lat pulldowns 3 sets

Did Pull ups between each pressing set and when I couldnā€™t do one with a good form I followed with a band pull aparts. Deload went great and its was really a deload except I only had 2 training days. I did light weight 3x5 with the main lifts and did a lot of light lat work on one day and triceps work on the other day. Felt really great with todays workout so I hope this whole cycle goes well. First time I tried floor presses and I really like them because of the pause at the bottom - I hope this will help my bench and the tricep work from them will help my press.

hmm never thinked about this? why ? I sure can tolerate more volume on upper body days :stuck_out_tongue:

59

i can tell based on ur bodyweight and ur max liftsā€¦ lets convert ur bodyweight to lbs. so lets say 95 kg x 2= 190lbs or smthā€¦ ur 95% deadlift is 105 kg so convert it to lbs its 220lbsā€¦ an average strong person should atleast deadlift 1.5-2x his body weight and bench x.3 his body weightā€¦ honestly ur bench and overhead are pretty strongā€¦ im sure ur lowerbody will catch upā€¦

60

i think im your oppositeā€¦ im weak on the upper lifts
my body weight is 75kg. (160lbs) im 25ā€¦
1rms
my bench is 165 lbs
ohpress 125lbs
deadlift 320 lbs
squat 250lbs
see the big differenceā€¦ im working on my triceps atm and honestly ur training log helped me cuz dis is where i 1st found the JM pressā€¦ so ill stay tuned on your program for more ideas on assistance liftsā€¦
