PRESS + TRICEPS + ROWS

There is always something or the other that I am overlooking for my Press training (on a weekly basis) so next week I am going to add OHP Assistance work to this training day and push Triceps to some other day. This is because I can get away with doing Triceps sometime later down the week but I don’t want to miss out on key OHP Assistance exercises like One Arm Seated OHP, Chained Dips or Bench Press with Zero Leg Drive.

With that said I am very pleased with my PR on No. 2 Banded OHP of 65 kgs x 3 reps. I have learned to breathe in and out with the bar at the bottom position and this is a big deal because I came close to passing out on every single OHP set. The additional PR of 94 kgs x 1 on OHP at a bodyweight of 85 kgs just sweetens the deal for me. But, I know I can make it a double if I am fresh. Getting to 100 kgs is going to happen one fractional plate at a time!
