Military Press Day
Cycle 8


Overall Impression:
i hate morning workouts but thats when the gym is mostly free....oh well....

i weighed myself today. 172 lbs. weird.....
The Workout:
Standing Barbell Military Press
- bar x 5 reps x 2 sets
- 95 lbs x 5 reps
- 125 lbs x 1 rep
- 135 lbs x 1 rep
- 145 lbs x 1 rep
<4.5 minute break>
- 160 lbs x 1 rep (took a 4 minute break)
<3 minute break>
- 145 lbs x 3 reps x 3 sets
- 145 lbs x 0 fail
- 145 lbs x 0 fail
so quite a lot of things to note:
1.) i added in one more warm-up set of 125 lbs. unlike last time, i did not fail at 160.
2.) my reps initially were very slow and sluggish - even with the bar alone. but this is probably because i was yawning while at the gym and i hadnt woken up...not even after the 160 set.
3.) however, past 145 on the warm-ups the reps became much more smooth
4.) 160 felt good. i am glad i rested so much before 160.
5.) i was supposed to do 5 sets of triples with 145 but after set 3, i got screwed. i took a 3 minute break between each set subsiquently (and the one's before as well) but i kept failing. i even tried to push-press the weight but i just couldnt. oh well...

EDT Training for Time Block = 15 minutes
- Flat Dumbbell Press @ 60 lbs = 8 + 8 + 8 + 6 + 6 + 6 = 42 reps total (-14 reps from last time and +10 lbs)
- Dumbbell Rows @ 70 lbs = 8 + 8 + 8 + 8 + 8 + 8 = 48 reps total (- 12 reps from last time and +10 lbs)
i was running out of time so i kinda hurried it up and quit in a little over 10 minutes. shit.

Facepulls
- 70 lbs x 10 reps
- 90 lbs x 8 reps
- 100 lbs x 6 reps
did these standing.

Ab Work
- Lying Leg Raises = 15 reps x 2 sets
My abs are pumped!!! lol...
