i think im your opposite… im weak on the upper lifts
my body weight is 75kg. (160lbs) im 25…
1rms
my bench is 165 lbs
ohpress 125lbs
deadlift 320 lbs
squat 250lbs
see the big difference… im working on my triceps atm and honestly ur training log helped me cuz dis is where i 1st found the JM press… so ill stay tuned on your program for more ideas on assistance lifts… [/quote]
As you can see I’m now reverting to something like boring but big assistance. I think more reps in my main lifts will get them strong. I’m to weak to overthink assistance exercises :P. My max deadlift is 140 kg and squat 110 kg but I hope I can bring those up a alot with hard work :P. And yes, JM press with a strict focus on technique and squezing the triceps is brutal
haha yeah… i gave them a try last monday and up until now theres a slight sore on my tris… maybe im too accustomed to cgbench already, the thing that i like with ur log is its good for recovery… the assistance isnt too much but i believe its enough to assist the main lifts so ill base my program on this… intensity rules!!

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.[/quote]
I too have recently started close-grip floor presses, but I do them with a “touch and go” motion. My reason for floor presses is 1) to help my bench and 2) to strengthen my lagging triceps. With those goals in mind, would pausing at the bottom be better? (I already do some dead-stop bench pressing with a wide grip off pins in the power rack.) Anybody knowledgable, care to comment on this question?

Now all you have to do is start a log and let the fun begin
Bench Press 5x10 40 kg with band pullaparts between each set
Had to get out of the gym. I’m still not happy with my bench technique so I’ll have to do some reading and watch some videos. I’ll switch my exercise days so that my bench is on monday so I can stay fresh. I’ll practice my bench technique on my off days too I guess. If some1 whos reading this has some tips on technique bring it on
Man I twisted my back or something, I can feel it in my middle back so I hope it goes away fast so I can do my 3s week squat sesion. As much as I love my 5/3/1 program it has its negatives and the main one is the lack of flexibility :P. Well I’ll do my squats as soon as my back gets better .
