Nice work man, are you doing your own programming right now?
Sort of, kind of. My percentages for push press and front squats are based off a progression that a lot of us are using at the gym. Everything else is my own doing.

Push presses were fast and explosive. Time to take a week off.
Good job man, that push press looked really solid. Keep it up!
Thank you!

Definitely went very conservative on my strict press weights, but I think it will serve me well in the long run.

Pretty brutal front squatting, but I got through it.
10 x 6, really? Nice work man, that’s my weekly squat volume… I hope you can walk today
I have no idea how you are walking today lol. Great stuff tho man! FS is where it’s at!
I’m thinking in a few weeks to have FS squat day where I literally do 10x6 or 20x3 or 30x1 just to see how I’m going to feel the next 2-3 days haha!
Yeah, this is easily the worst week in the programming. It is nauseous. I fell pretty sore, but still trained! ![]()
30x1? Man, that would be straight mental game and focus training! High volume with heavy weights is always a matter of mind games I play with myself.
