M96C6T3 No 1 Banded OHP 72,5kgs & Bench Press 100 kgs x 8 reps PR

BENCH PRESS Training

This is the first time I have done anything significant on Banded OHP’s and it felt great. I am also happy with the 8 reps I got on BP. It was very unexpected and took me by surprise. Now I’m gonna gun for 9. I stopped the Banded OHP’s at 72,5 because this was a “trial” workout of sorts. I just wanted to get a feel for this and these numbers will help me figure out a good base to build from. The bands are such a good addition. Theoretically they should be helping me at two points. One; they’ll force me to apply a lot of force right from the get go to overcome the sticking point. And two; they will really overpower me at the sticking point that is around eye to forehead level and powering through that will help me get stronger. But this is just theory. What I know, data analysis wise, is that bands have always been a huge part of whatever success I have had on Deadlifts and Bench Press. So hopefully they’ll propel my OHP’s too.
