DukeTheSlaya's Journey to Overhead Pressing Like a God

Ill attempt it next Saturday, because I usually do pull-ups on saturdays anyway

He was fine, pretty drained for a couple of days, but fine

Nearly everyone I train uses solid intra-workout

This particular dude used to carry a pound of maltodextrine with him (+salt and amino acids) so trust me, he was not exactly dying there

I was reading like oh shit a challenge I can take part in then I read what it is and slowly backed out.

Think about your statement here Duke.

ā€œMy training is working very well. It is helping me achieve my goals. As such, in 2 weeks, I’m going to do something completely different.ā€

Don’t test. Keep training. No matter how the test goes, you are exactly as strong before it as you are after it, the only difference is that now you know some sort of number value.

Alright i shall not test it. When is it an appropriate time to test maxes? Or is it never appropriate at this stage ?.
