Newby LP BS question

[over40]

I've kept this principle in my head from reading Barbell Prescription and it's "Master lifters are volume sensitive, and intensity dependent."
.

I need to pick up that book because that is gospel at 44. (It’s one of the reasons I stopped CrossFit, because it is the opposite, but I digress).
Maybe it’s a hormonal thing?

Sorry just realized I never really fully clarified that. Yes the technique is, say with the OHP, do 120 for 5x3, then next time do 120 for 3x5, then by next OHP go up 5 lbs and do 125 for 5x3, then same for 3x5, move up again and on and on.

Gotcha, back and forth.
You making jumps in OHP with less than 2.5 lbs?

I'm currently making jumps at 2.5 lbs (1.25 lb plates each side) each and every press and have been for some time. A couple times I had to go down to 1 lb, but wasn't a big deal.
