Still going strong on the volume progression w/the press I see It's actually feeling really good with the extra week before rotating to the same exercise. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shoggoth Posted November 5, 2020 Author Share Posted November 5, 2020 November 4, 2020 Before Supper 3A Upper. Really liking the landmine pressing. Lots of bracing happening. Skullcrushers I switched to a barbell and paused on my forehead. I was adding too much zazz when I was doing them behind my head. Rack pulls are bb style. Just flexing the lats back, shoulder blades together. Slow squeeze up and down. Pause on pins.

Shoggoth Posted November 18, 2020 Author Share Posted November 18, 2020 November 17, 2020 Before Supper Week 1. Doing one of Josh Bryant’s programs for a change. Felt very easy for the percentage prescribed sets. Very happy since I haven’t touched over 110k on the barbell in ages. Those functional iso’s might have limited weight due to the lack of a training partner working the pins. I’ll leave the power twister stuff for my second days.

Shoggoth Posted November 27, 2020 Author Share Posted November 27, 2020 November 27, 2020 Noon Stupid guts. Adding shrugs to get more weight in my hands.

Shoggoth Posted December 2, 2020 Author Share Posted December 2, 2020 December 1, 2020 Before Supper Week 3. Good enough. Stopped the primary bench once reps started to slow.

Shoggoth Posted December 10, 2020 Author Share Posted December 10, 2020 December 9, 2020 Before Supper Week 4. Going to start using wraps again. Haven’t in many years but I’d like to see where I can push this cycle. Just my 2 meter Iron Z’s. Gotta get used to them again.

Can I ask which machine you ordered? Nowadays I don't do any back squats at all, I've gone 100% hip belt. Way easier on the back now that I'm old. I also have my 16-year-old son on a steady diet of hip belt squats and he loves them. I was considering one of those Wenning belt squat machines a while back, but not sure if I would have enough room in my cramped home gym.......plus the price at that time was a bit more than I was looking to spend.
