That looks like a thorough, manageable OHP workout. Do the pushups you supersets with OHP working sets not detract from the OHP?

@TriednTrue Not for me. Actually they made each set a tad easier since I was essentially warming up more.

I’ve found something similar to be true for me. Sometimes when I OHP my warm up weights will feel extra heavy. I’ll start back over essentially warming up twice and all is well. The shoulder is a weird creature.

I think that you have too many warm up sets. It’s exhausting :slight_smile: I did this for a decade but finally I understand that it’s not necessary , but just a waste of time. One warm up set is quite enought and two before a heavy set/ max

@queen_cobra I have tried to do less warm up sets but I have found I am unable to comfortably hit my top set with out doing my warm up sets.

I only do 3-4 warm ups sets at the bar, 40% 50% and 60% of my TM.

And as I stated regarding my super sets of push ups with ohp the extra push ups help make my ohp feel easier. As such I think o do just the right amount of warm ups.

These work outs don’t feel exhausting to me.

Last night was the wizards brunch and dinner (we went to dinner)- Harry Potter themed dinner. It was alot of fun. Stayed at my sister’s apt last night. Didn’t sleep well. Didn’t eat well. Was really tired and didn’t want to gym today.

But… I went any ways and still got a very good session in. I feel much better.

5 min walk, 3 min jog/2 min walkx6, 25 min walk. 4% incline walks at 3.5 jogs at 5.

Have you skipped the rule of 10?
That was one I was looking forward to follow.

Great workouts.

@mortdk Oh no! I just forgot to log it! Did 2x5 to hit it! Up dating it!

Edit: also just realized I logged it as 3x5 when I did 2x3, and 2x5 since it was 3’s week. Corrected above
