I observed, as forementioned in my last post, a one-week deload to recover from the heavy lifting. Nothing really worth writing about, but during that time I just worked on some chin ups, and these were done at work. I did one strongman event session, this being on the 14th, and it consisted of just a bunch of log presses:
Log Press Poundages/Reps
40 x 15, 85 x 5, 140 x 5, 165 x 5, 210 x 2, 3, 220 x 2, 2, 175 x 5, 5, 5, 95 x 5 x 10.
I plan on working these into a full routine, but that session was just an experiment to see where I was at with these, and what sort of workout I could get from them. Also, applying 5/3/1 to the log press when the routine becomes implemented. They are a lot different than barbell or dumbbell presses, the big factor involving balancing the damn thing. Also, I do them as strict presses when lighter weights are involved, and only add the leg drive when I am close to the top poundages.
Today, the 19th, I trained the overhead press. Starting a new wave, all the poundages go up, normally 5 lbs for presses, and 10 for squats/deadlifts. However, after looking at where I am at with my reps versus weight used, I have decided to modify the weights to get some heavier work in:
Military Press 205 lbs
Dead Lift 435 lbs
Bench Press 320 lbs
Squat 415 lbs
Overhead press day with 5+:
65% = 135 x 5
75% = 155 x 5
85% = 175 x 15
Rep target was 13 reps.
Assistance work today was supersetted chin ups and standing dumbbell presses using the 50-pounders for 5 x 10.
