Overhead Press

I only did 3 sets of 5 for bench press (instead of the normal 5x5) on Monday, hoping my triceps would be fresh for a 260 lb OHP PR today.

  • 100 lb: 5
  • 140 lb: 3

  • 260 lb: X,X
    • Darn it.
  • 225 lb: 4
    • Same number of reps as last week. Couldn't get 5.
  • 200 lb: 7 *PR, 5
    • +1 rep from last week for the 1st set (7RM)
    • +1 rep from last week for the 2nd set
  • 170 lb: 8
    • Previous best: 9 reps.

Ever since I started taking strength training seriously, I was bitten by the Iron Bug. Then it burrowed under my skin and laid eggs in my heart. Now those eggs are hatching and I... the feeling is indescribable.
