Mate, with a little bit of dedication and a lot cheating, I have no doubt you could manage the same thing.

With triceps like yours mate, youā€™re probably most of the way there already.

Really in unfamiliar territory here. Despite being in a constant deficit, whatever combination of diet and training I have hit upon is working in a way I am unused to. No way I should be hitting 172, but I fucking smashed it. Effectively double my current bodyweight, it is rare when those particular stars align, and never when I am losing weight.

Funny thing is I have always had good triceps and shoulders in terms of muscle but my overhead is kinda crap relative to my bench. Maybe I just like lying down too much.

On account of all the amazing in my log, you will have to be more specific. If we are still talking about Simoā€™s triceps, then I can only agree. They are so juicy lookin.

Thatā€™s fair but I thought the 100 kg strict press stood out in that post.

Well I think you and I cheat roughly the same amount, so I can accept the compliment coming from you.

It is the way.

This was my coachā€™s response to my latest strict press PR:
"That counts !
Log strict press should never be something super clinically strict, itā€™s an exercise that needs a little momentum to get it moving
Otherwise the loading potential is just too low, Iā€™d rather more weight semi strict and it will really carry over to push press

I guess one could make a similar point for the barbell. In the end it doesnā€™t really matter. No extra points for form and as long as you know the distinction between your strict and leg drive press, thatā€™s all you need.

That is pretty much exactly how I see it. I am just giving it a tiny bit of momentum from the dead stop where the mechanical disadvantage is so big. Better to cheat a little bit with a lot more weight. I find it comparable to the little hip thrust that so many benchers useā€¦.it is doing the exact same thing.

This for me falls quite a bit short from an actual push press, I can put a lot more weight on that, and pretty sure you can too.

Work today is bewbs again. I seem to get best results from a 5 day cycle, so that is what I am generally doing. Once again putting more weight on the bar, which still makes no real sense. Incline is in a good spot at the moment. Decline isā€¦getting there sort of.

Basic upper body pulling day, nothing fancy. Did the four rounds of biceps torture at the end, this was the first time where it was slightly less than maximum suck, so I might have to increase something next time.

Ran for 10 minutes uninterrupted on the mill to finish it off. I donā€™t see any reason to ever run longer than that.
