Nice!  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.

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.

Start of a new cycle with everything with the exception of my dumbbell bench progression. Back to some typical strength building. 

 

Was going to do 5x3 with the paused squats and 3 sets of the ball over shoulder but ran out of time. Need to bring the grandgoober his birthday present.

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. 

Bench Press 132.5k x 2r
Bench Press CAT 90s Rests 110k x 4 x 3r

Good to see you still at it man!  One of the earlier guys I followed.  I think Iron Radio was the platform we first met up.  Keep at it bud!

Week 3. Good enough. Stopped the primary bench once reps started to slow. Could’ve gotten a few more but they wouldn’t have been as crisp.

Happy to end my week of 5’s with this program that I built for myself. It’s given me 24 weeks of progression so far and I’ll tag on another 3 week wave starting next week.

Thanks bud. Hopefully you’re doing well and not walking in circles these day. You’ll be easier for Melissa to catch you anyways.

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. 

I’m also thinking I’ve got to get my ass in gear and make room for my belt squat machine that should be here in the next 3-4 weeks.

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.
