VenomousCoffee's Training Log

Saturday 6/1
AM
SE Ladders
I almost threw up on the way down the ladder. Luckily, soon after I completely gassed out, so on my way back up the ladder I wasn't able to run fast enough to risk that again.

PM
Squat 335 5x5
OHP 185 5x5
PU 25lbs 5x5
Finally decided to add some weight on pull-ups and it was surprisingly easy.

Those are starting to be some serious numbers.

I was thinking of a similar cluster (FSQ, OHP, WCU); how do you find not doing any horizontal pressing? Do you make up for it with pushups/dips in SE?

I love it. My shoulders haven't felt this good in years. I understand KB's logic with flat bench (more weight = stronger) but for me, overhead feels better/more natural and back in the day it was the go-to measure for upper body strength.

When I do SE work my cluster is FS, OHP, BS, Row, RDL. (I haven't done any SE work in a bit and need to get that worked in.) So no dips or pushups at all. I haven't missed it so far as lacking shoulder or tricep strength, I don't think. YMMV of course.

Oxygen Debt 101
It wasn't always a sprint, but it was always maximum effort.

Had to cut the pull-ups to 10 on rounds 2 and 3 because I just weigh too much. My damn arms were going numb.
