You could adopt a CrossFit term - shoulder to overhead. Get the bar overhead any way you can. If youā€™re crazy then you can do press, push press, and jerks all in the same set.

Used to be called ā€œ2 hands anyhowā€ back in the day. I like that.

It is kind of strange, because most of us probably never deliberately mix the different movements in one set, but why not? I can easily see the advantage of doing so.

Seems like a mechanical drop set. Strict press to failure, push press to failure, jerks to failure.

Iā€™ve done it before and it resulted in great DOMS in the delts. Delt DOMS means I did some right.

Paul Kelso and John McCallum have both spoken to such an approach. And Jamie Lewis had a great 30 minute overhead challenge that allowed for this. Good variety .

Took ANOTHER day off yesterday. Although I did have a go at Bob, which is the first time in who knows how many weeks. Getting really terrible about that.

Anywho, squats again today. 150 is the topset for the second week. It went nice and smooth. Did a 155 joker just to make up for the off balance one I did a few weeks ago. It was a bit slower, but still fine.

  • Barbell Squat

    • 75 kg x 5 reps
    • 85 kg x 5 reps
    • 100 kg x 5 reps
    • 115 kg x 3 reps
    • 125 kg x 3 reps
    • 140 kg x 1 reps
    • 150 kg x 1 reps
    • 155 kg x 1 reps (joker)
    • 115 kg x 8 reps
    • 115 kg x 8 reps
    • 115 kg x 8 reps
    • 100 kg x 12 reps

  • Pull-Up

    • 5 reps
    • 5 reps
    • 5 reps
    • 5 reps
    • 5 reps

  • Isolateral Plate Loaded High Row

    • 70 lb x 5 reps
    • 110 lb x 10 reps
    • 160 lb x 10 reps
    • 210 lb x 10 reps
    • 160 lb x 10 reps
    • 100 lb x 40 reps

Pulling was just kinda haphazard, sorta just killing time.

What ever you doing training wise it seems to be working. You are getting stronger.

Isnā€™t it the stronger we are, the more we have to rest? Youā€™re getting stronger, a lot! So no shame in taking days off, these might be beneficial even!

And fatter!

Lucky you. My weight seems to be static. I am doing a lot of walking with the dog and just not eating enough. I really struggle to eat enough consistently. I can eat massive on one day or one meal but not all the time. Eating is so fkn boring.

I didnā€™t really consider it a brag. Itā€™s fine for now, but longer term I am not sure how well this suits me. Part of it is health reasons, but also simply because extra fat tends to start at my love handles. Admittedly, this is likely because my diet is dirty as hell.

Itā€™s age mate. Extra weight doing to my love handles too.

You make having kids sound like so much fun. :sweat_smile:

Not sure what would have happened if I ever said something like that to my mother but I am sure the consequences would have made me thoroughly regret my words.
