    Pressed 3x5x160lb (72.5kg) last night. Very happy. On my way to a 200lb single!

    Just thought I'd share my joy.

    Good work - how long did it take you to get this far?

    Today I literally just pressed the same weights as you did last night, one step closer to my goal of a BW press. Dominated the bar!

    Currently I'm 91KG / 200 lbs, might weigh a bit more when I hit my goal as I'm still slowly gaining weight. I've been training for around 11 months now, and I want to hit my goal in the next 3 months.

    Think I'll test a BW press when my work sets are around 80-82.5 KG for 3x5.

    160 X 5 is my nemises as well- Ive gotten 3 but no more.

    this week deloaded, worked my anemic bench (185!!) more than press, did 5x5 at 140 plus back off set, dips... chawing steak- next week Im joining that club.


    ok maybe week after next...
