You don't eat an entire pizza pie alone in one meal, that is extremely not the way this food was meant to be eaten.

You gotta do an Arnold calf thing. Double down on them, make them the focus of your workouts.

That is pretty odd, I can do 100 lb on 5x5 and my bench is nowhere near yours. I did used to do a lot of pushups though, so maybe try some of that.

That doesn't seem that unreasonable of a difference. OHP is just hard as heck. I benched 245lbx4 last week and could only do 165x3 on OHP.

How long you been doing OHP? It's tough when you first start out. Give it a few weeks to get the form down and eventually it'll go up - just takes time.

If you've been doing it for a while and it still ain't going up, well, uhhh

Same. My bench 1RM is 300lbs and I'm not sure if I've ever managed 135lbs on OHP. Shoulders are a god drat mystery to me.

Might be shoulder inflexibility too. Try out some shoulder dislocates to warm up before an OHP.

I just have incredible pecs.

My delts are actually p great too, I think a lot of it is a lack a balance due to a nerve thing in my back, combined with terrible crippling back pain afterwards anytime I do a lot of stuff that puts a lot of weight on my spine (some real exotic scoliosis type poo poo).

Had a light week last week due to inflamed tendons. Just smacked 3 plates on the squat like it wasn't poo poo. Been a while. Feels good man.


This is probably a retarded progression, I was going to do 4 sets of 225x10 with short rest, and move on to other things, more volume.

135x10 - warmup
225x5 - this feels light as hell, gently caress it lets go
295x3 - needed confidence
315x2 - hell yeah
275x5 - gently caress that last one was heavy
225x10 - oh this is still lighter than expected

I don't know, this was unexpected. I'm in there four days a week, squatting or deadlifting two of those days, the other two I'm on the stair climber after lifting. Skipped deadlift last week due to grip injury and suddenly I'm strong after a few extra days rest.

This changes a lot, I don't know what to do now.

I had two or three months off this summer due to a cross country move. I've only been back at it for five weeks before the last. I didn't expect to get it so quickly. Was planning on going hard through the next three weeks as I will have two weeks to break in December for business and holidays.

I haven't made it back there yet. I'm still not sure if my current plateau is down to diet (I'm much lighter now than I was then), or because I neglected my shoulders for a while because of an injury. I'm hoping it's the injury because I don't feel like bulking up, and, besides, other accessory lifts are heavier now than they were then so it's probably not that
