Muzzlrpress' road to 1300 and beyond

Cycle 2 week 3 day 1

Military press:
5x70
5x85
3x105
5x130
3x150
0x165
0x155

Failed completely on military press. To be honest I expected to stall soon on this lift so I was prepared to take off 10% for next cycle

BBB
5X95

Chin Ups 5x10

Tri extensions 5x10

1.28 mile jog 12 mins

The cardio is improving a bit. All and all good day. Tomorrow I'm predicting a dead PR. It WILL happen I swear it.

Yea man I had the same issue the first time I ran 5/3/1. Military Press is just a tough lift if you do it without a bounce out of the bottom.

Probably a good idea to drop back on the weight and just try to keep progressing through the reps. The Strength will come man.

Yeah. I bring it down to chest and not bounce to track progress easier. I'm used to dialing it back with madcow, so dropping weight doesn't bother me like it does a lot of people. I swear so many people never dial it down and wonder why a lift just wont go up.

To many people lifting with their ego lol. That's why I started light with my cycles so I can progress longer and more consistently

Damn sucks about the OHP

What deadlift are you trying to hit?

Rep PR tomorrow. Have to beat last month. Don't remember how many but it's in my journal at the gym. Will beat it or cripple myself trying.

Step 1: wear wizard beard

Step 3: pull like the hottest chick in the gym is watching

Lol

Good Lift man, but I saw a few fundamental flaws in your pulls that might help you get that PR. Mark Bell talks a lot about neutral head position and keeping the hips down/back more to keep the tension off the lower back and give you some more drive from the bottom

[JamesW129]

I don't know enough to comment on the form but cot damn that weight moved so fast, really good pulls there

Press is something that needs volume big man. Gotta hit it at least x2 a week if you want it to grow. I pressed x1 a week for 2 years and strict low 200's with a 370 bench lol. Lesson learned..

enjoy that while you can. I would do 3 miles 2-3 times a week, about 3-4 months into training that stopped.. Not even the weight gain that did it either, muscles just got so specialized for force prodution that a slight jog fatiged leg muscles pretty fast.

Damn. Don't mind if I slow down, just want to keep up my cardiovascular health

Just depends how specialized you wana be. A 20 minute jog uses different energy systems and fiber types then flipping a tire or doing a squat does. Have you thought about doing more sport specific cariovascular training like odd object loading, tire flips, heavy farmers walks etc? When I do heavy seabag loads I feel like I just did a 100 yard dash.

I would like to do all that badass chit. Wish I could use a prowler, but the only gyms nearby with that equipment would be crossfit gyms

Dude just make a prowler like I do at my gym. We have those high plyo boxes for box jumps. Take one, flip it over onto a small towel to help it slide, add weight and push. I have been adding these to the end of my workouts just to get my cardio back up. Basically like doing HIIT. I do like 4-6 rounds of down and back on the hardwood area in my gym. guessing about 25-30 yards total down and back.
