BACK Training

I was feeling a little weak going into this session – it might be the onset of a throat irritation. I cut out the direct bicep work because last week this backfired on me and my elbows were screaming in pain the next day on Bench. I removed direct free Squat work as well because I don’t see it helping much. I will throw this in on my main Squat day if I feel like it. My right quad is going to take a LONG time to heal and so far it isn’t giving me any problems with my main lifts so I am fine dealing with the long wait. Back training was good on the whole despite me fighting with myself to do every rep.

I will be posting my new template in a short while. I have been trying to push the Overhead Press and Bench Press with equal (or divided) effort for some time now. I have an OHP of 93 kgs that is more than my BodyWeight and my Bench has gone from 55 kgs in 2015 September to 123 kgs in 2017 September. It is better in the long run to focus on one lift even though both lifts move at a snail’s pace. Eric and I spoke and the general consensus is that focusing on OHP is better because I can always shift to BP for a short bit later on without losing much strength but it won’t work the other way around because of the standing up thing that OHP offers. So I am going to cycle down BP work for some time and focus on OHP and for that I need to rework a lot of my template.
