Tonight I hit 275x3, 275x4, and 275x5 on the 2-board press.
The week after that I got to 280x3 for 3 sets, and last night was 280x4 for 3 sets. Did a bunch of weighted dips and ended with 270x6 for a couple sets on decline press.
Front Squat up to 205x1, to the floor and touching. Not amazing but I've only done 4 sessions with it since being back to doing them in over 2 years.
Weighted chins are up to +70x6 for a couple sets, full stretch and pause, pulling up over the bar.
I just like having a day for chest, back, legs and shoulders though.
I could take out the 5th day I suppose, as it's usually just an arm day that I probably don't need...
Lots of people, me included, *like* certain things. But sometimes they're just not the way to go. You could always keep certain days for certain muscles, and just lower volume, to find a happy medium. If you prefer daily workouts vs. every other day or so, then there's nothing wrong with that. 20-30min., in & out, and you're on with your day. Just be sure to space things out appropriately so you don't hinder yourself. You could also do like I do, and stagger unrelated muscle groups. Hit your main group, like back, and between sets bang out some calf or ab work. Do chest the next day, and hit biceps & traps in between so you can save the time from doing them on chest day. Lots of ways to lessen your time in the gym and still get everything done
4/11 Office Workout
- Bulgarian Split Squat: +95 x 9 x 3
Making progress on Bulgarian split squats. Should probably be close to +bodyweight by the end of the summer. Continuing to make progress on climbing and general hand strength as well.
Don't think I've asked before, but are you using a barbell or combined dumbbell weight?
What a day for a park workout
Squats and pull ups Thursday. Still getting those small gains every week - one extra rep here, two there.
Way to go! Small linear progression is what it's all about! Mentally it's pretty 'easy' to hit your goals, and as long as you have patience and keep to your plans the gains over time can and will be insane!
