What is your current one rep max?

About 3 fiddy. For real, that's actually what it is right now. Hit 350 last week. Failed 355 this week.

What is your current working set weight?

Was doing...

By expressing hate, you quite literally play right into the terrorist's hands. They want us to hate all of them. They want that divide and to breed contempt for the Muslim people within our...

OHP standards on these always seem particularly low.

For prime of your life, you're "advanced" even though you're still under bodyweight?

The irony is that it's the older who folks who actually need it the most.

Bodies going to the ****s, fat accumulating, so many old folks walk around and move with the grace and agility of mummies....

Will contribute soon. Re-integrating OHP after lots of bench emphasis. Currently ramping up 5lbs each workout until I can't hit at least one single. Hoping to get 190-200lbs.

I'm a crappy...

Anyone here managed to gain strength while dieting?

Not counting people who are new or returning from a layoff.

I've never really understood the need for boosts with dumbbell presses. I find the people that want them are usually cutting the ROM a bit short, and thus might be weak out of the very bottom, where...

I think this is precisely where we get into genetics on the naturally lean vs fat, and this shows up in the literature. Some overeat, NEAT goes up, appetite compensates and drops. Adaptations to try...

George Leeman was the same (current American deadlift record holder)

could barely bench 105 and was one of the weaker kids at school according to him.

Andy Bolton, powerlifter who held the deadlift record at one point, he said that when he first started training, he pulled 600 and squatted 500 in his first session ever. At 18 years old.

Those...

I've had nagging golfers elbow symptoms for a while now.

I find that bicep work tends to help. I get slack on that sometimes. Preacher curls right now feel really good and seem to help get some...

Why is that? I always like his threads and the discussions they bring.

Good luck with it all, I think it makes sense for anyone who stays in the iron game long enough to shift focus from time to time. If nothing else, for the psychological benefits.

Ever thought...

I am 31 right now. Certainly not old, but now existing my 20s and slowly but surely losing the right to call myself a "young man"

I certainly plan on training in some fashion for the rest of my...

Biggest thing with OHP I think is coming to terms with the fact that it's a slow moving lift. Think about it, it uses the smallest amount of muscle and it's typically the weakest of the barbell...

the OHP always struck me as particularly low

I am the same, have always benched more with a close grip. Really close, too.

Wide is much weaker off chest, but more even strength curve. Reps are slower, but easier to grind.

With close grip,...

I've trained both equally and pretty much always have an OHP that's 80+% of my bench.

so 205 with 250 bench makes sense to me. It's a rare ratio, but it happens.

when my max ohp was 185, I...

Stalling is one thing. Lifts actually going down is another. I wouldn't worry about the first but I'd really try to minimize the second.
