Worked up to 115x5 on overhead press. This workout is so deceptive because you finish up your money exercise in like 10 minutes.

Then its 5 sets of 15 (or as many as you can manage) of dips and 5 sets of 10 for chins. The supporting exercises are MUCH more tiring than the main one, however I love the simplicity. 3 exercises a workout and thats it. You bring the motivation.

Now I'm about to dive into a big bowl of chicken breast/thighs, veggies and sweet potatoes.

 

Set some PR's today in they gym. I put up 225# in a push press, and DL'ed 475. I may just hit that 550 # DL goal this year after all...

 

Noice, 225 is a solid push press! Has to feel good to put 4 wheels overhead.

 

Yeah,it did feel great! I was getting some stares and people looking in disbelief when I pressed more over my head than most bench press.

 

Today was deads. Was feeling a bit not into it but warmup on the concept 2, then one round on the heavy bag got me ready. I was midway into the deads when this came on the playlist.

I'm one of those people that needs to work out angry. Starts out somewhat slow, if you want FF to 1:20. Not everyone likes MM, but this is still about the most perfect aggressive workout song I know of.

I guess music is one of those overlooked things, but its HUGE for me.

 

I pick a hard song, hit the genius button on my ipod, and go to work. Or I just play a certain "gym" playlist, and that is all I need to get the blood flowing. Plus I think of things that make me really mad and I let that fuel my lifting and intensity.

what is push press? sitting bench / military press? 225 is nuts. im repping half of that, LOLOL

 

^ You need Perry Como!!

 

A push press is a standing overhead shoulder press with a slight dip before pushing the weight up. 225 was my best yet, but I think I could have done around 250. I did 5 sets before that.

Dana, I prefer some Sinatra, a little Ray Charles, and some Little Richard. Wopbopaloobopawopbopbop!!!
