Got something going on in the plantar fascia of my left foot; itās a little tweaky. I felt it give a little last session on the calf presses. Think Iāll skip calves today.

Iām hoping it will help to maintain my strict press, since Iām not doing any currently. I do strict for warmup to push pressing. I pressed a pretty easy strict 150x3 the set before doing push presses, so it might be working.

1-1/2 Incline BP (pause on chest for rep and half rep)
165 4x2, 4x1
On the singles I added a half rep at the top, but thatās so easy that I donāt think it makes a difference. Bottom half-rep is where the strain is.
Hammer Machine Row (Tempo 0-2-4-2)
180 4x2, 4x1
SSB Squat (no belt, tempo 4-2-0)
285 4x2, 4x1
No heavy set test anymore. Iām satisfied this is working ok.
JM Press
165 3x5
Not touching my upper chest anymore; ranks on my right shoulder too much. Stopping just off the chest.
Standing Calves (tempo 0-2-0-2)
BW + 365 3x8

80 3x8-10

Very considerate of you.

The hardest part of this program for me is the creeping incrementalism of it.
I get bored easily, which is why I tried to make all the movements harder.
But thatās getting boring, too.
The beginning stages always have me pining for more volume.
My wheels have shrunk, bro.
Muh wheels.
The upside is the steady progression. I just need to keep my temperment in check. This is a long-game plan.

Took all the tempo work out yesterday and boosted the weight. Everything moved fast. I thought I would be really sore today, particularly my back, but Iām feeling good. May do same for Workout B, except for DL, although if that moves well I might kick it up a bit.
