Press Training
Mesocycle 17 - Week 1

Beginning Thoughts:
Was in a bit of a hurry today but the overall volume would have been low to begin with because I need to set a base mark from which to progress.
Workout:
Pistol Squats:
BW x 4 reps x 2 sets
Felt pretty comfortable.

Overhead Press:
155 lbs x 3 reps
175 lbs x 1 rep x 2 sets
I will build on this come next week. I am not sure where I am going to keep rotating a variant of the press on a week to week basis but I might do some crazy bell incline close grip bench presses (wow..what a mouthful!) next week.

Pull-ups:
BW x 10 reps
BW x 8 reps
BW x 8+1 reps
Total = 27 reps
The goal here is to increase overall volume on this exercise as the weeks progress. On this day no weighted pull-ups are done because I need to keep my form in check, etc...

Unilateral Lat Pulldowns:
35 kgs x 6 reps x 2 sets
40 kgs x 5 reps

Decline Dumbbell Punches:
14 kgs x 8 reps x 3 sets

Overall Impression:
The next 2 days are rest days...I plan on losing the bloat and relaxing! I hope everyone's having a swell week!
