12/11. Press day. Max effort work.

I have always had the goal of strict pressing my body weight. Don't know why but I always thought the strict press is one of the most badass and manly lifts of all time. Also one of the most underrated. I had gotten away from oh pressing for a little bit and hated that I had let my goal slip away. After prioritizing and really focusing on them I have finally done it! I was pretty damn happy.

Standing strict press 1x1@ 235
Working sets 3x3@ 215, 3x3@210

Seated neutral grip db press 4x8-10@70

Behind the head barbell press (I love these)
3x8@135

DB shrug 3x12@90

Lateral raises 3x8@35. Shoulders were fried by the time I did these.

Front raise 2x10@25

Med ball overhead throw from knees 3x10@12


Overall a good day of training. I think I have finally dialed in what works or me! I have been setting pr's in max strength and reps which is awesome. And most importantly staying injury free. The combination of adding power exercises, speed, and rotating assistance and accessory work has really made a difference.  I'm feeling more athletic at the heaviest I've been.
