The band overhead press is awesome. Probably my favourite band exercise right now

Seems like an exercise with a perfect resistance curve almost? The ordinary overhead press is so limited by that first rep.

exactly, and the top is normally too easy

I’ve experimented a bit with push pressing the first rep, and stopping the eccentric motion at about the chin/trachea. Allows more weight on the bar and kills the stretch reflex. Also enforces a slow eccentric tempo since it’s not the most natural place to reverse.

One thing I do not like about it though is that the execution of the rep becomes somewhat… subjective. To best convey the point, I believe the seal row vs bent-over row illustrates the scenario better. You might “improve” on the barbell bent-over row but really what has improved is the body-english. And here, with the overhead press, what you are maybe doing is reducing your ROM by a few mm:s that are hard to notice.

Is that phase 3? I haven’t really been paying much attention because I don’t want to get my hopes up.

No idea, I’ve deliberately not been paying attention. But that’s what I hear from people who are

Run 5k - 30mins.

Surprised I managed 5k on my first run in probably more than 10 years, even if it is a bit pedestrian.
