clearly this is the rep we all want to see ![]()
Funny thing is I came a bit back,nowhere near to the point of falling,started laughing at the idea of falling back(while holding the weight at the top) and then fell due to lack of concentration
That sounds like something I would do.
This is a summation of my life in a nut-shell
Being dumb
Cons
Killing self
Pros
Making friends online
Fair trade, Iād say.
Thatās some decent weight youāre shifting with the Z press. Do you find it easier than military?
My pin Z presses are around my ohp I estimate.My regular Z press is lower for sure
I find it to be way harder,itās just that the higher pin possition gives me a slight advantage
First I thought this was funny
Then I remembered that a week ago I accidentally took a full grip instead of a suicide grip when doing close-grip bench and ended up almost killing myself because I was so confused about the situation.
Found the real suicide grip
Ahahahahahaha just imagining that is beyond me
As on every December,I decided to take 10 days off,so today I was in the gym just to pay the rest of my fees
Said screw it,threw 70 kg/154 lbs on the fatter bar that rolls and did a double.Thatās a big pr
So,see you in a week
Thatās one way to put a full stop down. Nice!
Thanks man
Also,I remember you asked me whereās my z pressing strength compared to the ohp
Now I can tell you,itās way off
My ohp is probably around 75 kg,whereass even with the higher pins I can Z press 72.5 kg
My free Z press is 85 % of my regular press give or take
Last,Iāll not be around here a lot this week,so if you donāt see me around your log a lot donāt worry,I havenāt died
While I would notice your absence, I doubt that would be the reason to which I would ascribe it.
Back after a week of being sick af
