Unexpected day off due to van issues, so trained later and after having some food. Seems to make quite a difference to energy levels.

How many cycles of your hypertrophy training is left mate? Or is this something ya reckon youāll stay with going forward?
10 weeks, but I think Iāll reset the maxes and run it again.

Gone out of order today, as I wanted to Deadlift on a day off after having eaten.
Didnāt improve anything at all. Struggled to get 2 reps at 220kg, and the back off sets were a real struggle. Had a very late night/early morning of heavy drinking Friday, still feeling a bit hungover today.
On a more positive note, I have stayed under 200lbs for a week now, will push to 198 by next weekend.

How close was the Oh mate?
Eye level, always seems to be around there the bar just stops and I canāt get it going again.
I find press really perplexing, 70kg flew up, so I thought another 7.5kg should go up too!
It is a real tough lift mate especially strict press. As I get near to my max I have the same issue, just a few kg slows the bar down so much. Maybe a good overhead presser like @strongmanvinny2 has some tips.
Iām dropping weight at the moment so thatās probably not helping.
Might switch to seated press as I find that a bit easier, hit some weights I wouldnāt get standing to build up confidence, then switch back.
Perhaps pin presses from eye level might help improve the sticking point?
