I just clean it once then do the set of presses normally
thanks
the main workout was centered around 60kg . I got 6 in two sets . I was a bit tired already though.
Points taken though.
I could work in the 50kg range too. i did 80kg quite easily and thought a pb might be on the cards.i definitely a bit stronger despite failing the lift . I donāt need to wear wrist wraps at all now.
I did consider getting a PT but he was ā¬175 a month ( very good trainer though).
I would follow something. I might just do power to the people by tsatsouline. But I want a squatting pattern too. The front squat.
I want to do the bench press again too.
I could do a squat day
bench press overhead press day
maybe a deadlift day too.
Your wrists may feel okay now, but really they should be stacked under the bar in a straight line with your forearm. Over time you could end up with problems. With close to max attempts it will be a struggle for you to keep your wrists straight - you should probably wear straps if you end up going for reps like these again (which I donāt think you should).
Another thing, which you mentioned yourself to be fair to you. You are turning the lift into a little too much of a standing incline press for my liking. Without extremely disciplined (and correct) form, that could cause some lower back issues. It may also lead to plateaus somewhere down the line. You would be way better served to progress in higher rep ranges and hone your technique.
You then go on talking about wanting a bench press day, a squat day, a bench press/overhead press day, and a deadlift day. This structure is pretty much the base for a huge majority of programs out there. Just swap squat for front squat and overhead press for overhead press off pins. It doesnāt matter what you pick, just stick with it for a while and let us know how you get on in your log.
