Good Morning
I'm going to take a break from overhead pressing for a cycle. I just finished up the first positive 5/3/1 cycle I've had in many moon and I would like to keep that momentum going, but I've decided to do incline bench rather than standing presses for this go. The theory is that I can handle more weight on this lift and that should give me more bar control when I go back to pressing overhead. So this morning I opted to get a 1RM on incline bench rather than some deload workout. To my surprise, I squeeged out 315 for a single. I was pretty happy with that. I've never been able to press over 300 on a steep incline bench. Course, I haven't spend a great deal of time trying either. This should be a fun and productive cycle. I feel like I'm pretty solid on all my lifts right now and hopefully I'll see some gains this go around that I haven't accomplished in a while. Happy Thursday everyone.

It's good to hear some positive outlook issuing forth from the House. And you even redecorated. And nice work on the overheads.
I long for the mountains. I must get there.
I feel ya. You should make efforts in that direction. I'll join you.
