Got 5 reps on the 3 sets of press, but only got 7 on the back off set where I did 8 last week.Guess the extra reps on the work sets accounted for this .

When I didn't get 5 reps on the work set as I planned I decided to not do back offs but just go with intensity.

I find resetting my grip between reps to be helpful. I like your consistency.

Thanks Pete, I try my best to get some training in. I'm convinced it is important for us as we get older.
I did the SLDL like that since it was light and just wanted to stretch out my hamstrings.
I have been helping a friend move the last few days and boy is my back sore, going to try and do some presses over the weekend and pulldowns.

My back was,still sore from the main day of the moving on Wednesday,so I did BP instead of,standing press.I did up the weight to 135 but 3 reps was all I could do.The last rep on all 3 sets was a grind.Not sure if I should continue with the low reps or drop the weight and go with higher reps.

There it is! 135. I feel like moving from 5s to 3s when appropriate can be indicated for masters trainees, since intensity is key, compared to volume.

Yay for 135!!!

[BrooklynJerry]

Thanks for looking. Sad to say that used to be part of my WU but then I got old and some injuries too.Now I need to figure out what to do next, micro load, try for additional reps, do one work set next time then lower the weight and do back offs.
