Introducing a little cardio and cutting back on pre bed peanuts/milk. Got to lose a bit of fat and then hit a slow clean bulk. Would estimate 12-15% bodyfat and want to get to 10% or so (abs defined when unflexed).

Did some bears (chaosandpain exercise) which were pretty badass haha, even with 25kg.

Got the heart rate going anyway!

Front squat- OH press - back squat - BTN press- front squat etc

So fucking hot today.

Finally pulled 150kg on Tuesday. That was my goal for 2010 so a little late but got there in the end :roll:

Bench today, nothing to report, average workout.

Squats tomorrow, looking forward to another 20-rep breathing squat death attempt 8)

Oh yeah, maybe its this supposed storm system over the whole country. Bloody unpleasant anyway you look at it.

haha, I've noticed a couple of times while reading your journal that your press is comparatively weak compared to your other three big lifts. Didn't say anything becasue I thought it would be rude :oops:

You're much further ahead than me in the other three though :pfft:

With the 5/3/1, the dedicated day to OH Press should see you rocket it up I would guess.

[Monarchking]

rimma do u know what u OHP for a tripple?

and do u use a full ROM to chest or chin?

[Phedder]

Nothing rude about the truth Neglected them for far too long, realised I sucked at them and neglected some more haha :doh:

You're much further ahead than me in the other three though

If you took BW into account I think we'd actually be quite similar.

With the 5/3/1, the dedicated day to OH Press should see you rocket it up I would guess.

There's only one way to find out :grin:

[rimma]

rimma do u know what u OHP for a tripple?

I don't know, but I will be finding out in the next month or two as 5/3/1 weights progress. My guess would be around 50kg for a triple.

Yep full ROM- I touch it on my clavicles between reps, legs locked out etc.

[rimma]

There's only one way to find out :grin:

haha no doubt about it, and I'll keep an eye on your journal. In my (limited) experience I've found the OHP to be the slowest thing to grow on 5/3/1 though, maybe just because its the smallest of the lifts.
