Decided to start a new log to follow my new goals.
Im Suffering from a back injury which is preventing me from pushing my deadlifts and squat, so I'm going to take the rest of the year to focus on my pressing, I will still deadlift and squat but won't be pushing weights, will maybe do deadlift one week then squat next.
First session 1 rep max test
Flat bench
120kg x 2
140kg x 1
150kg x 1
160kg x 1 this is the most I've benched since my hand injury
140kg x 4
Strict military press
90kg x 2
100kg x 1
105kg x 1
110kg x 1
Monster dumbbell single arm strict press
35kg x 3
40kg x 2
45kg x 1
50kg x 1
All my 1 rep max efforts were all comfortable not grinders.
I've got a bench program to follow that uses % of max, but you have a set amount of reps to hit in the week, it doesn't matter how many days, sets or reps are done as long as the weekly amount of reps are hit.
My initial targets are
180kg bench
120kg strict overhead
60kg strict monster dumbbell with each arm.
I've got a photo of the dumbbell, I will upload later.
So that's it, the hard work starts now.
