Switching back to push presses for a bit. Want to learn good form and figure out leg drive. Overhead and deadlift are my weak points so far compared to events. (Much better at strongman events than static events)
So yeah. Thursdays will be strict overheads work and delt building stuff. As well as other upper body.

Band squat holds
Alan thrall shoulders
Foam roll
SSB squat
Paused.
90kg
6
7
8 all pr’s. Left a few in the tank. Like RPE 6.
Snatch grip deads
Beltless with straps. First time doing them, had strongman mate go over them and i needed to have my hips lower so worked on that. Built up to a triple at 120kg. Felt good. Feels alot better than conventional actually but hard af. I think my conventional stance needs widening up a little.
100kg ×5. Focused on keeping hips lower
ssb goodmorning
2×10 50kg. Widened up stance and it felt better. Also will help with stones if i mimick the stance i think too. Something i read online somewhere
Ab wheel 2×10 with iso hold on last rep of last set

Thoughts guys? Today on my squat sets they were pretty easy. I had like 3-4 reps in the tank. If the program calls for a certain amount of reps is it okay to do more if i can? As long as its within reason e.g not to constant grindy reps/bad form breakdown. I’m just confused bevause i feel like I’m spinning my wheels and leaving gains on the table if i constantly leave a bunch of reps in the tank

Thought this was worth the read. Useful expecially for us younger newer lifters!

But why not do more reps? Lets say you’re supposed to do sets of 8 but it’s easy as hell and you could do 16 all out. Why not do 12-14 reps? Isn’t it a waste of time if you’re not pushing yourself?
It depends on the program. The idea of most programs is to stimulate not annihilate. The program should build each week and give you enough stimulation to progress but also not so much that you can’t recover. Feeling like you can do more is a good sign you are progressing and recovering well. I have a question for you. Why try to rush it and do more in one workout if that is going to impact on the next workout and ultimately impact on the results of the program ?

I don’t understand getting bigger and stronger without effort. For example my program called for sets of 4 a few weeks ago but it was too easy so i banged out 15 and that was with a couple left in the tank. I feel like if I’m not training hard then why am i there sort of. I’ve seen in person the kind of training done by one of the strongest dudes in Australia. It’s alot more intense than mine/they push themselves more. So to become the best train harder/ smarter then the best? it’s confusing shit
That is why i said not going to all out failure but doing more. So like instead of my squats being hell easy do more reps etc but not to failure . I think the problem maybe is me gaining strength too fast for the program. It’s a really good program so i figure it’s
Just me. I don’t know my limits. I have a rough idea of the amount of volume i can handle but i know i handle intensity very well. Its just how I’m neurologically built
There is no king of good mornings! Except at Westside.
Lol
King of lower back pain more like
It might be according to the plan of the program that these sets feel that light.
By working with a coach for the first time I learned to don’t question what I read but just execute. The results don’t always show immediately nur a few weeks or month down the road.
So I’d advise you to take a look at the whole program not only the phase you are in right now before you jump to conclusions.

Already done that. I did 6 weeks of the program and reset it because i added 20kg to my squat. Here and there i didnt follow the program but i figured no use continuing because id already added that much so i decided to reset. Week 7,8,9 have 1rep maxes in it so i thought no use continuing either. It was easy the whole time.
So you didn’t feel that the program was hard and it ended up putting 20 kg on your squat? This is Like the absolute best scenario there is.
Just repeat it over and over. It will get harder soon enough. Remember that for the goals you stated, you are in for decades.
If you can get results without putting in too much hard work then do it and enjoy it while it lasts
