Like IW said...it seems like you are swinging from one extreme to the other. Oh well....It's your routine and if you are meeting your goals then good for you, dude.

I had some doubts today so I decided to test my strict press to see if I make any progress.

Workout N°8 : Strict Press 57kg

That's +2kg compared 17 days ago. I also did a Power Clean with 73kg and failed to push press it (I got a partial rep). The strict press probably exhausted too much my push muscles. I'll take one week off after thoses max efforts and resume training at 80% of my PC&PP, with around 59kg. This workout increased my confidence in the program. I'll continue and I hope I'll be able to continue to gain strength at this rate which would allow me to make a new PR in less than 2 months.

Workout N°9 : PC&PP 59kg

After 6 days off I decided to train again. It should be enough to recover from my last workout (maximum effort). I'll continue to train once every 3 days and around the 22 september I'll test my 1RM again. I'll probably attempt 60kg (+3kg compared to the 23 august) in the Strict Press. Let's see what happend.

I may also test my max on Strict Curl and One Leg Squat !

This is a very interesting thread to follow, good luck with the testing coming up in sept kinryoku ... I'm excited to see the results.

Hello hrdgain, I saw you are a very strong guy ! Glad to see you are intested in my training

I hope your shoulder is ok now.

Workout N°10 : PC&PP 59.5kg

the PP felt very easy, I'll might already be able to do a strict press with 59... My technique on power clean is very bad but I don't care : bad technique = lower weight BUT not less muscles work. As long as I can "power clean" enough to match my PP it's ok.

I mean "I might already be able to"

Workout N°11 : PC&PP 60kg

I was a little bit tired today, I had not the feeling of power I had the last workout. With such a hard exercise you strength somewhat depends of your condition (sleep, stress, etc).

You can let your form slip a little but be very careful with that because you don't want it to get so bad that you injure yourself. Proper form is "proper" for a reason. --> Safety.

Workout N°12 : PC&PP 60.5kg

Iron you are right. I would never allow my back to round on any pulling exercises ! I did it once on deadlift and I had lower back pain for over 6 months.

I went out this week end and didn't sleep much and the workout was not as easy as it should... I'll sleep well this week to be full of energy again.
