Bingley's Bumbling Along

[carson]

Tues 4/26/22

sq 45 1x5, 140 1x5, 190 1x5, 230 1x5, 280 1x5, 320 1x3
ohp 45 1x5, 70 1x5, 90 1x5, 100 1x5

the 4th rep at 320 pushed me right down into the pins lol guess I'll drop the weight a little

On my way back up I have experienced the weight pushing me down into the pins. But at a lower weight than 320. I hope I can get back up to a point at which 320 is not just a crazy dream but a possibility...some day.

Your numbers on the sqt are great. I have in the past done presses with similar weights, but never got too 300 on the sqt.Keep up the great work.

[Mr. Bingley]

Thanks! I always have had an issue in the past around 315, my back would get very sore. But this go around, now that I'm fatter I mean more solid it feels (knock on wood) a lot better. The ohp is always a struggle for me, I've just never had upper body strength, so with the rack at home now trying to finally get that to one wheel, as it's a movement with all the camping we're starting to do that actually translates directly into something useful in real life: putting gear onto the roof of the truck.

That's always the struggle - go heavy and take advantage of the extended recovery while hopefully not hobbling or keep it safer and enjoy the time with the Boss.
