I've been posting about the difficulties I've been having with the overhead press. How it is actually going backwards instead of forward. Today, during my 3 x 3 workout, I was able to meet the requisite reps on my last set. The first rep on that set almost didn't make it up, but the next two went up no problem. Here's the summary of that workout. By the way, training max is 250 lbs:
Warm up sets
45 x 15
100 x 5
125 x 5
150 x 3
Working sets
200 x 3
215 x 3
225 x 3
I decided to do two strip sets after the max set, doing one set at 85% and then one at 80%.
215 x 3
200 x 3
I went down to 135 lbs and did 3 x 10 of military press, then added one-arm dumbbell press for 3 x 10 each side with 50 lbs.
That was a wrap, and I decided not to overdo it today with any extra assistance. I've been wondering if I have been overtraining the overhead press. That could cause it to go backwards. If anyone knowledgeable out there has any advice, just drop a comment. I don't bite, lol!
See you tomorrow for 3 x 3 dead lifting.
