Starting a fresh cycle of StrongFirst press program going up one weight (so I’ll be using the 62, 70, 80, and 88 as my training weights in this round). End goal is pressing the 106 at the end of this 12-week cycle.

Sounds like your definitely going to kill your goal

Hope so. I certainly think it should be manageable. The real trick will actually be leaning out as I do this so the 106 is actually “half bodyweight” (I’m currently floating in the low 230’s and could stand to tighten things up on the nutrition front).

Kettlebell Press

Kettlebell Swing

5x10x97

Think I’ll settle into the simple addition of 5 sets of 10 swings (EMOM) with the 97 pounder at the end of all StrongFirst pressing workouts. Quick little hit of conditioning and only adds 5 minutes.

Going nicely here. Plan to keep doing 5/3/1 cycles and adding 5 pounds to top set (then once I clear a new weight increment boosting the entire warmup/workout sequence a bit, e.g. once the top set is >315 pounds I will probably hop straight from 135 → 225 and add some more warmup sets in between 225 and the top set)

Like this setup a lot. One set of snatches per hand to warm up and sharpen that skill; then the pressing workout; and a quick finisher of EMOM swings.

Didn’t alternate these today. Just went out back and did my 5 sets of pull-ups with about 2 minutes rest between sets, then my little EMOM swing finisher.
