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. :biglaugh: 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"
No edit function :owned2: |
Workout N°11:dance: : 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). :dance: |
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. |
I'm back for 2009. I hope things will be better this year. I resumed training with the same principle : One Single at 70-80%.
I did two workouts : Workout n°1 Deadlift : 129kg Standing Press : 44kg Curl : 17.5/21kg Workout n°2 Standing Press : 44.5kg Deadlift : 130kg Curl : 17.5/21kg On both Deadlift and Press I do a single at 75-80% of my actual 1RM and on Curl I test 1x80% right arm versus 1x70% left arm too see if I can get the same results with 70% insteed of 80%. I train 2x per week. |
