Military Press Day - Cycle 18

Military Press Day
Cycle 18


Overall Impression:
well, i got in 10 hours of studying today....i hate studying lol...
The Workout:
Standing Barbell Military Press
- 155 lbs x 1 rep
- 160 lbs x 1 rep
- 165 lbs x 0 reps
- 145 lbs x 3 reps x 2 sets
- 135 lbs x 4 reps x 2 sets
just like last week my reps were really slow and sluggish. even 45 lbs felt like a ton to me. i did 160 lbs easy then tried 165 but failed. im not too disappointed though....i need to come up with a new strategy for my press...i think i will stop doing standing presses for another 2-3 weeks. im gonna focus on seated presses. infact, i plan on making my upper body workouts more bodybuilding oriented for 2-3 weeks where i will try and get 8-12 reps on everything. other than the set-rep scheme everything else stays the same: exercises will be those that have maximum carry over onto key lifts.
