I’m really good at skipping lower body press day. I have only done 1 of 3 planned sessions. Not good enough but I have almost zero motivation to train legs. I’m born with pretty strong hips and legs geneticlly speaking, so seeing that they are still not lagging behind even though they don’t get hit so often drains my motivation for training them.
Had an upper body press workout today. At 7 waves now. My joints complained a little when I started the warmup. My muscles are a bit fatigued, so I quickly dropped the weight, but then remained stable at 3rd wave and rest of the workout.
Did 24 reps on PLP and 9 waves today. Pretty good energy actually, but my right shoulder joint was sore. I feel that this sorenesss taught me better technique. At the end of the workout I was able to press without feeling the soreness.
Read about supressing the shoulder blades when doing pullup. Improved my posture after just 1 workout.
Did dynamic hamstring stretches today. Much better leg drive for initial rep of military press
I do mostly mobility work in my rest periods now. Too much pressing volume to hit traps hard. I’m confident that PLP will take care of the volume needed for my back
Hams are damn sore today! Strecthed them some more
My muscular fatigue levels are insane right now. I’m still able to hit the same top weight as in the “1 wave workout”, but my strength drops like a teenagers balls pretty quick! Did a total of 38 max force sets today. How CT was able to hit a PR after 70 sets is beyond me!
Damn nice training without having a clock with me!
Around wave 8, I felt like my motivation began dying.
Not sore in right shoulder joint anymore. Cyborg-joints!
Bought some NSAID (volteren) for the elbow. Think I might stay clear of heavy weights for this entire recharge week. Here is the plan for the recharge week:
Feeling very good, and have a strong desire to workout even though I did not get much sleep for the last couple of days. Promising for 3 weeks hard / 1 week recharge
Ok tried thumbless before for flat bench but did not like it.
But for military press: Priceless!!! Much better feeling in the delt and upper chest!
So why not try it with neutral grip pullups? Should make it easier to pull with the pinky and therefore make it easier to get more lat activation. DAMN right it was easier to get more lat activation. Also increased range of motion a bit and made the concractions more powerful.
