So, I’ve been doing Wendler again for my press + bench (and kinda squats). Listed were my working sets. These aren’t my best ~max reps~ but oh well. A few weeks ago I benched 77 for 15 ha. On Saturday I PRed my jerk, and my upper body was pretty tired, so I’m not too worked up.
I wanted to go up a little weight in bench, so I did 84 for 4 (failed the fifth), and then just did 94 ~to see~. My last texted max is 95, btw. All of my 1RM calculations put me around 110 though.
Relatedly: Bench KILLS my wrists. I could barely do the snatch PP after. And honestly, when I do those max sets, I usually have to stop because of wrist pain and not muscle fatigue. Halp.
I’m doing pause front squats because my clean is going nowhere fast, as is my leg strength. :upside down smile emoji: As per the suggestion of Al’s strong AF coach BFF, I’m doing sets of 3 and adding 5 pounds every week.
Also, on the ~gymnastics front~ look at me doing some skill work. (See pic, o.) Yesterday I did a power dip (o) and went down to about parallel for the first time ever lol. Sorry so phat. I’ve been working on these for the past month. Before I would just … fall after going down 3 inches haha. I truly think I could do a Real Dip now if I didn’t do 100000 bench presses to failure right before.
Gymnastics part 2: I got between 5-8 toes to bar each time. GO ME. Wow, I’m truly doin’ it. During the CF Open, I had to do singles, FYI.
