Reach for the Stars

07 SEP 12

Overhead presses on 3+ week, with the training max set at 190 lbs.

Requisite warm up sets, always beginning with the empty bar for 15 reps, then 40, 50 and 60% of the training max, followed by the working sets of 80, 85 and 90%.

150 x 3
160 x 3
170 x 15

Things were feeling good on that last set, and my goal had been set at 12 reps, but I kept going. I still had enough gas for one more, but stayed "in the tank". After a bit of rest, I followed up with four singles:

185 x 1
200 x 1
210 x 1
225 x 1

Assistance work today was just pressing 115 lbs for 5 x 10, according to Jim Wendler's BBB template.

I work twelve-hours tonight, so I might throw some chin ups in while at work. Nothing like killing two birds with one stone!
