Weird, but impressive

Not really, still feel old, tired and useless.

Basic Bitch day. Nothing special. This is all fine where it is, so I am happy just to maintain it.

Too weary from benching to do any repping. Not too tired for a PR. Thought it would be harder.

Dumbbells was just to test if my (left) shoulder was okay. It was not, didn’t feel good at all. So still have to avoid.

That’s the spirit.

The results beg to differ though.

Yeah, even I have to admit that my upper body strength is currently beyond all expectations.

You done any pressing with leg drive recently? Wondering how much you can put above your head by any means.

You should enter a strengthlifting comp or strongman, you’d place well.

I am always pretty transparent that I use what I like to call a little ‘wiggle’ in my knees to help get things moving. To most people, it still looks like a strict press. A tiny bit cheaty.

A real push press is a different thing entirely. Normally I can push press somewhere between 15 and 20 kilo more than I can strict. So at a guess, I might be able to do 120 or 125? Not sure. My best ever is 117.5, pretty sure I can do at least that much now, and more if I train squats a bit more.

Do it, appease the internet strangers curiousity (and video it).

Ugh. Fuck. I dunno. I already put enough pressure on myself.

Damn you. Will you be happy with 120?

Nope, I’ll be happy when I see you absolutely max out!

Squats again today. Still practicing my new (old) form with wider stance and toes pointed out slightly. I feel more powerful in this stance, and grip the bar out wider seems good on my elbows. 160 was biting off a bit too much, but I got it up.

Did some calf stuff, but who cares.

Took me three weeks since this post. I am ashamed and embarrassed. I will try to be better in the future.

Anyway, it was not a big deal. I have had much harder lifts. Hell, 127.5 was harder.

Yesterday’s work. I was very tired and a bit light-headed, so I did not go to the topset and generally kept it easy. Oof. Need a good night’s sleep.
